Hong Kong singers have a consensus that the mark of singer success is to sing in Hong Kong Hall . The Red Hall has witnessed the ups and downs of countless top singers over the years.
Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung , Xu Xiaofeng , Anita Mui , the Four Heavenly Kings... They often have more than a dozen or dozens of concerts in the Red Hall.
If you ask "Which star is the most popular?" There is no need to watch fans argue endlessly, just count the number of times the Hong Kong Red Hall is about to be on the same page! The Red Hall is obviously a hard standard for measuring the singer's overall strength.
As the Hong Kong music scene is declining, many people will feel that the Red House has become a yellow flower tomorrow, which is a thing of the past.
Compared with the Bird's Nest and the Dome, the Red Hall has the least audience seats, but its historical accumulation in the past 40 years and the appearance of countless palace-level singers also make the significance of the Red Hall "Competitioning the Palace" self-evident.
In addition to judging the popularity of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, the Red Hall is actually a threshold to test the strength of mainland singers: which mainland singers have ever "conquered" the Red Hall?
Some people are at their peak when they debut, while others are always rejected by the mainstream music scene. But to a certain extent, these singers are equivalent to the "face" of the mainland music industry. Not only is his courage commendable, but his strength is also commendable.
The Three Heroes of Magic Rock: The " Rock Peak" in the mainland music industry
The mainland singer who initially conquered the Red Hall is, to be precise, a "rock lineup", the Three Heroes of Magic Rock and Tang Dynasty band.
The title published by the media on the second day of the performance: "Rock soul, shocking the Hong Kong River".
The audience's reaction on the night of the performance was restored in Zhang Peiren's words: In the Hong Kong music scene, there is almost no concert like this crazy.
The audience did not bring support when they entered the venue, and came empty-handed, but eventually ran agitated and started a carnival.
Hong Kong fans who are used to listening to guava songs, what kind of rock lineup did they face back then?
994, a group of young northerners carried packages, squeezed into the carriage, passed the checkpoint, and stood at the Hung Hom "China Rock Music Force" concert.
, there is a singer wearing sea soul shirt , and the audience is lively and jumping around, "Hong Kong girls, are you beautiful?"
The one who sang " Girls Beautiful " is He Yong .
When He Yong sang " Bell and Drum Tower ", another young man in a black suit attracted the attention of the audience with his temperament and talent.
When the instruments were rushing together enthusiastically, they were quietly killed by his flute sound.
As for who he is, listen to He Yong's introduction: "Dou Dou Wei, Dou Wei!"
Of course, Dou Wei was not only a handsome rock boy at that time, but also the "Fai Wong boyfriend" in the report.
In order not to embarrass the band in Beijing, Deng Aoge practiced the piano crazily, waiting for the passion of Hung Hom to be released.
Sure enough, the audience was completely excited after experiencing Dou Wei's restrained and suppressed singing, led by He Yong, Deng Ouge and others.
The audience seemed to have forgotten the Hong Kong stars sitting on the spot, and forgot the previous press conference, He Yong's speech, "There are only , Jacky Cheung , who can sing" at the press conference.
They compete to stand on their seats, either dancing wildly or roaring. These actions also led to the organizer's subsequent fine because he initially applied for a seat-style performance.
But after the Red Hall, there are not many opportunities for rock performances.
A photographer recorded their off-stage life and couldn't help but sigh: "I listened to their songs before, and thought they were wearing big gold chains, driving an sports car, , and following a bunch of little brothers."
In fact, the handsome and haloed stage image was completely shattered: "Their conditions in all aspects are very difficult."
plus the increasingly exposed conflicts with record companies. The institutionalized terms such as business and contracts have made rock young people confused.
The young singer's spirit is full of energy and is frozen at the peak night of Hung Hom.
Na Ying : Mainland singers are all in the limelight
The Three Heroes of Magic Rock and others were the rock lineups that initially stood on Hung Hom. In terms of singles, Na Ying was the first mainland singer to "conquer" the Red Hall.
But long before Na Ying, senior sister Mao Amin as the "facade of the mainland music scene", has tried the development in the Hong Kong music scene.
On the stage, Mao Amin wore a red dress and walked to the front of the stage under the accompaniment team. His atmospheric and dignified singing typhoon received unanimous praise.
Unfortunately, Mao Amin's second album recorded in Hong Kong was not released, and she failed to expand the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene in the golden age.
both are Gu Jianfen 's apprentice, Mao Amin fell into a trough, and Na Ying came in full force.
In those years, he sang "mountain does not turn around" too much. Na Ying thought that it would not work. He had to change the style of the song and record a few different records.
So, when others question Na Ying, why did he go to Hong Kong and Taiwan to develop? In Na Ying's own words, "People can't suffocate themselves to death. "
Na Ying's desire to change allowed her to open a new world in her career.
001, Na Ying first made a splash at the Golden Melody Awards.
She defeated Faye Wong, Zhang Huimei , Karen Mok , Stefanie Sun and other strong opponents, and won the "Best Mandarin actress" with " Sorrowful Romance ", becoming The "No. 1 Mainland singer" is the queen of the Golden Melody Awards.
In September of the same year, Na Ying chased while it was hot and opened the door of the Red Hall.
The first show of the Red Hall, Na Ying paid enough money and the ranking must be large.
with a full white coat and a fashionable look with a white wedding dress on the back, slowly appearing from the bottom of the stage, amazing the audience.
h The entire tml1 concert was full of Na Ying's golden songs, which attracted choruses. Because the audience was full, the scene was very exciting.
big-name stars were also there, Zhong Zhentao , Cecilia Cheung and other Hong Kong stars came to support.
Andy Lau , Stefanie Sun went on stage to sing together, Faye Wong and Liminglu VCR supported it from afar.
Just because of such a powerful big-name friend, Na Ying would not be popular. It's also difficult!
Daolang : You can fill the Red House without giving away tickets
Na Ying is the "No. 1 Mainland singer" who held the Hung Hom singing, and the audience recognizes her strength.
But I never expected that Na Ying would suffer a reputation because of one sentence.
Na Ying's words are what he said about Daolang: "His music does not have aesthetic standards. "
At that time, as the chairman of the jury of a certain awards ceremony, Na Ying made a statement on the mainstream music of Daolang. Coincidentally, Wang Feng and Yang Kun also spoke boldly and bluntly in his early years, without concealing his doubts about Daolang.
However, despite being rejected by the mainstream, the door of the Red Pavilion was open to Daolang.
Although the mainstream did not give Daolang a chance to award , The audience gave Daolang a scattered support.
11 In those years, hair salons, taxis, restaurants, record stores... Daolang's unique and exotic songs were circulating in the streets and alleys.
In Hong Kong, Daolang became popular, so popular that Alan Tam came to visit in person, made a song with Daolang to watch football, and became friends.
And with Daolang signing the contract with the world, Alan Tam was even more fertile and was able to grab the cover rights of " The First Snow in 2002 ".
Later, Alan Tam also became popular in the era of ringtones by getting Daolang's first song " Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" "
As an original musician, Daolang's music reputation has been gradually accumulated, especially after experiencing the accumulation of time, which makes people miss the simplicity and simplicity of the past.
Time has been from 2002 to 2012. Daolang is late, but unexpectedly, the popularity of the Red Hall is still there.
Without giving away tickets, the Red Hall was full, and the audience turned the gymnasium into karaoke for thousands of people, from "Impulsive Punishment" and "Lovers", singing to " in that far away place " and "Youth Dance".
"Why don't mainland male singers go to Hong Kong to sing? Only Daolang dares to go?" The organizers of
analyzed the reasons. They believed that it was because Daolang was too special. He had a very distinctive voice like him, and it was really difficult to find a mainland music scene!
week Bichang : The process of mainland pop music, which was praised as a superstar in Hong Kong, has formed two unique landscapes after the millennium.
Online, online music is booming, and ringtones have become a social exchange industry for a while; offline, celebrity talent shows are in full swing, and fans canvassing votes from the streets just to select the superstar in their hearts.
005 was the most sensational year. In the program " Super Girl ", a girl named Li Yuchun won the championship. She was so popular that she became popular on " Times Weekly " and became the topic of the year.
, and runner-up Zhou Bichang and third place Zhang Liangying , the stars are much dim.
Later, Jane Jane also sang her grades based on the theme song, while Zhou Bichang always gave people a feeling of "not becoming popular".
From the early days, media reported that "Zhou Bichang's first solo singing performance had less than 60% of the attendance rate". It was too embarrassing that the box office of the new runner-up was so bleak.
Many years later, there were still people who started a topic to discuss: Why can’t Zhou Bichang become popular?
But if the "red hall" is used as the standard, among the talent show singers, Zhou Bichang is the only one among the Super Girls who sang in thered hall. Will you be impressed by her?
and Zhou Bichang’s box office in the Red Hall was amazing! The Red Hall turned green for two consecutive nights, and fans were holding green glow sticks and cheering for the mainland female singer.
So I have to say that Zhou Bichang's grades are underestimated.
Since she grew up in Guangdong, Cantonese is not an obstacle. Zhou Bichang entered the Hong Kong music scene smoothly. She won many heavyweight awards in the Jinge Golden Songs Award Ceremony and Xincheng Mandarin Award Ceremony. She has won many heavyweight awards and has been lenient.
Grand-Ziqi Before she became popular, she once said that "Zhou Bichang is his idol", which is enough to show that Zhou Bichang has a very high recognition in the circle.
Li Ronghao : After four years of debut, she broke into the Red Hall
week Bichang silently worked hard in the Hong Kong music scene, and her language advantages are indispensable.
But compared to language, the work itself is a more direct and effective pass, allowing singers to be accepted and loved by audiences from different cultural backgrounds.
works break the language and culture barrier. Li Ronghao, another mainland singer who appeared in the Red Hall to sing, is like this.
Back then, when Li Xiao Li was still fighting behind the scenes, he wrote songs for singers such as Zhou Bichang, Rainie Yang, , Na Ying, Xue Zhiqian, , Wang Xinling, , Zhang Xinzhe , Li Yuchun, etc., or made albums.
Like Xue Zhiqian's " Ugly ", Karen Mok's "Slowly Like You", and Gu Juji's "Monster" are all written by Li Ronghao.
From behind to the front, Li Ronghao made his debut naturally. The release of his first solo album allowed him to taste the popularity himself and won the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer.
Back then, after listening to " Composer ", Faye Wong strongly recommended Li Ronghao and called the other party a "handsome song".It is hard for Li Ronghao to be recognized by the queen of the music industry!
Let’s talk about Li Ronghao’s development in Hong Kong. Li Ronghao sets the “small goal” to achieve the opening of the Red Hall. It’s really a bit “Versailles”.
In fact, it is indeed "easy" for Li Ronghao to enter the Red Hall. He has become a leader in the music industry after only four years of his debut.
Compared with other mainland singers who have entered the Red Hall, Li Ronghao's career is considered to be hierarchical. Like Hua Chenyu , he is already a tutor in music programs.
Conclusion:
From the Three Heroes of Magic Rock to Li Ronghao, from 1994 to the present, the storm changes in the past three decades, the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene has no longer seen its former dominance, but the Hong Kong and Taiwan music hall is still the obsessive ideal of singers.
lists mainland singers who have entered Hung Hom. Although there are only a few people and a few of them so far, we also find that no matter what era, singers can shine in the music industry in other places as long as they have strong strength and works.
Which mainland singers have the strength to "conquer" the Red Hall next? Let's wait and see!
