talk about a late emperor superstar today.
He has a super ageless beauty, every screen image he has created is a classic, and his music spans the ages for a long time.
He has a world-class reputation and a large number of loyal fans. Many fans only met him after his death. There is a popular saying among die-hard fans, "When you enter Rongmen, it is as deep as the sea."
Yes, he is the legend of the Chinese entertainment circle: brother Leslie Cheung!
Speaking of my brother’s status in the minds of the public, this picture is enough to explain everything:
Hong Kong Radio held a "Reason to Love Hong Kong" voting event in 2010, and "With Leslie Cheung" got the highest number of votes. It has been nearly 7 years since Mr. Zhang passed away. Behind him, Ai Rong is still better than before. It is difficult for such an artist except Leslie Cheung to find a second one.
If you want to vote for the representative work of Leslie Cheung's film works, the editor estimates that it will be "Farewell My Concubine". What if
wants to vote for his music masterpiece? Which golden song would you choose? The editor of
feels that "Silence is Golden" will be a very powerful option. The lyrics of this song
were written by the Hong Kong music elder "God of Song" Xu Guanjie, and it has been sung for many years. The beautiful melody of
is also unforgettable, and the composer is Leslie Cheung himself.
Zhang Guorong and Xu Guanjie
Zhang did not formally learn to compose, but his talent in this area is just like his performance in film and television and stage. His shots are extraordinary.
"Silence is Golden" has been adapted into various versions by various musicians, do you know?
, let's take stock.
1, the original Cantonese version
, of course, is the familiar Cantonese original version, "Silence is Golden" jointly created by Leslie Cheung and Koh Guanjie. The song
describes the doubts encountered by young people in the process of growing up and the relief after growing up. "Youth, be a man free and easy" is the finishing touch, replaced by the current buzzword, which is the phrase "May you leave for half your life and return as a teenager."

2, Mandarin version
In those days, when musicians were making a Cantonese song, they often also produced a Mandarin version, that is, the Mandarin version. The Mandarin version of
"Silence is Golden" is "Bright Moon Night". The lyrics are like this:
is not the same feeling? The original version of this song was also sung by Leslie Cheung. Compared with "Silence is Golden", it is like a gentle and unrestrained group, and our brother is also able to control it.
However, "Silence is Golden" is ahead of jade, and the popularity of "Bright Moon Night" was still a bit less popular at the time. It was not until the reinterpretation of Zhong Mingqiu, a well-known singer in the fever circle in Guangzhou, that the song became popular again in recent years.
3, the Hokkien version of
"Silence is Golden", the Hokkien version was refilled by the Taiwanese singer doll, called "Life of the Sea".
"Life of the Sea" is worth talking about. The editor of
doesn't understand Hokkien, but after listening to the "Life of the Sea" sung by many singers, she understood that this song must be quite popular in Hokkien circles.
is just that the Hokkien circle is not big enough, which limits the further spread of this song. After all, Hokkien is not an easy language to master. Among the versions sung by many singers, Wang Jie's version is probably the most respected by netizens. Wang Jie's unique voice and vocals really interpret the sadness of life in the song.
But Wang Jie doesn't speak Hokkien. It is said that he spent 8 hours in the recording studio in order to record this song.
singer Wang Jie
searched on the Internet, and you can find that there are countless singers who have sang "Life of the Sea", Shi Wenbin, Chen Lei, Chen Yingjie, Li Maoshan, Fu Qiongyin, Xiang Huiling, Gong Yue, etc. Is a Hokkien singer who has been famous for a long time, or a singer whose mother tongue is not Hokkien, seems to like singing this songThis shows the success of "Life of the Sea".
shows two audios for everyone, one is male singer Chen Lei and the other is female singer Chen Yingjie.
4. All kinds of adaptations you can think of and unexpected.
The above mentioned are all adaptations with a high degree of vocalization, and there are also some special versions, which can also illustrate how much "silence is golden". All-match tunes.
"Why Hesitate Anymore" is another joint performance by the original singers Xu Guanjie and Leslie Cheung at the 1988 "Happy Donghua" TV Charity Gala. The purpose is to appeal to people to donate to the needy and difficult people. The lyrics are appropriate, and the melody of "Silence is Golden" is still very stable.
also has a Mandarin version of "Silence is Golden", a work by Malaysian singer Downey in his early years. Yes, the title of the song is the same as the Cantonese version, but the lyrics are rewritten in Mandarin.
can now find the repaired version of this song online, you can listen to it if you like it.
Next, let's talk about another more tricky adaptation. They have a characteristic, from the name of the song to the lyrics, they are basically a copy of the Hokkien version of "Life of the Sea", but they only sing in Mandarin.
For example, the song "Life in Style" by singer Long Piaopiao, born in Taiwan and developed in Malaysia.
is also born in the Mainland and is now also developing in Malaysia. This song "The Journey of Life" by singer Su Jiayu:
Huh? Do Malaysian singers particularly like to make this kind of adaptation?
5, the eternal inheritance
In 2011, an independent musician Lin Feng uploaded the Cantonese version of "Silence is Golden" which he sang directly in Mandarin on the Internet. He did not expect it to be as good as it sounds, without any sense of language violation. Recommended by a large number of netizens, this version has reached 840,000 views, which is a more successful example of ordinary people paying tribute to the classic songs of their brother.
friends who like my brother, can also use (here omitted various music APP ads)... to challenge.
Finally, I want to talk about the latest adapted version discovered by the editor, which is called "Talking to the Past". The
singer is a young new group called "Four Friends", who only released their first album in 2013. Although
is young, he is very passionate about music. From the lyrics to the arrangement of "The Dust of Wine Talk" has undergone a new treatment. At first I didn't expect it to be born out of "Silence is Gold". The artistic conception reminded me of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms: the great river goes east and the waves are exhausted Lovers of the ages... many things from the past and the present, all are laughing and talking...
take it away. In short, the lyrics of this song rewrite the original theme, and the arrangement incorporates popular music elements. It is a professional-level adaptation. The editor feels that it can be regarded as an inheritance and tribute to the classics.
