Introduction: The song god Jacky Cheung celebrates his 60th birthday. The Hong Kong music scene is a reincarnation. He is a witness.
Many people don’t know that today is Jacky Cheung’s 60th birthday. Years, the song god is really old!
At noon today, Universal Music employees posted a video of their friend Jacky Cheung celebrating his birthday on social platforms. There was no big banquet, no gathering of stars, just a simple birthday cake, plus three or five friends, the song god is so low-key. In the
video, Jacky Cheung, who is 60 years old, looks very young. After opening the champagne , he repeatedly expressed his gratitude to his friends beside him. Compared with in 2018, half of the entertainment circle was Zeng Zhiwei celebrated his 65th birthday, Jacky Cheung's 60 Sui Dashou looks very shabby.
Many people call Jacky Cheung the God of Songs, and think he is the last God of Songs in the Chinese music scene, but I don't know why he got such a title. What is the
song god? When did the title appear?
The first person to be crowned the "God of Song" was Xu Guanjie , the founder of Cantonese pop music. Xu Guanjie was called "Hong Kong Song God" by the public in the late 1970s.
His works "Ban Jin Ba Liang", " Prodigal Son ", " Silence is Golden ", "A Laugh in the Sea", "Genius Idiot Dream", " A Lang's Love Song " are still sung to this day, and many later The singer also covered his work.
Because Xu Guanjie has the title of song god, people also use his experience to define song god.
To this day, the word song god is used by the public to praise those singers who have outstanding singing skills, have made outstanding contributions to the development of the music world and have a wide range of influence in society.
After Xu Guanjie, no one won the title of "God of Song" for a long time, even his successors in the music world Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam .
Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung were the undisputed hegemons of the Hong Kong music scene in the 1980s. " Tan Zhang contends for hegemony " has become the theme of that era. Many people think that Alan Tam is actually better than Leslie Cheung based on his strength in the music world.
Leslie Cheung can have such a big influence, thanks to his later quitting the music scene because of "Tan Zhang for Hegemony" and moving to the film and television circle, a "Farewell My Concubine" established his position in the film circle.
Although Alan Tam has not set foot in the film and television industry, his title of "Principal Tan" is enough to prove his status in the music world, and to some extent he can be regarded as a "singer".
The origin of Alan Tam's title of "Principal Tam":
htmlIn the 1980s, Alan Tam held concerts frequently, dozens of times each time, Hung Hom Gym was almost contracted by him, unlike the current singers who can hold a concert at the Hung Hom Gymnasium The concert seemed like a lot!
At a concert, Alan Tam said to the fans: The entire Red Pavilion is like a large school of ten thousand people. You have to come to the night school every day, and I will be with you every night, teaching everyone with songs Some of the truth of life, I feel like I am the principal of this school !
has had the title of Principal Tan since then, and other people in the music world have also recognized his title, and he is like a student in front of him.
After Xu Guanjie's "God of Song", Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung started the "Era of Heavenly Kings"
Although the public thinks that "God of Songs" is a higher level than "Singer of Heaven", there are not many kings of "music".
The Hong Kong music scene in the 1970s belonged to Xu Guanjie, the Hong Kong music scene in the 1980s belonged to Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam, and in the 1990s, the Hong Kong music scene was full of flowers and queens appeared frequently, the most prominent of which were the "Four Heavenly Kings".
The origin of the "Four Heavenly Kings" in the Hong Kong music scene
The Four Heavenly Kings were the first to become popular. In 1990, Dawn and quickly became popular due to their handsome looks, and the Hong Kong music scene also entered the idol era. At that time, Andy Lau, who was also an idol group is Dawn's contender, and the two are dubbed Gemini.
At this time, Jacky Cheung was also defined as a strong singer, and those who had good deeds collectively called him the "Three Musketeers" of the Hong Kong music scene with the former two.
Aaron Kwok is different from the other three. He became popular in Taiwan. When Dawn became popular, he also sold over one million sales in Asia with his debut album "Love For You". In 1991, "Should I Walk Quietly?" "Open" fires again, In 1992, Aaron Kwok returned to Hong Kong for development.
Hong Kong's "Father of Concerts" Zhang Yaorong called the four most popular male singers at that time the "Four Heavenly Kings". Since then, the era of "Four Heavenly Kings" has begun. They almost monopolized the music scene in Hong Kong in the early 1990s. All awards.
Jacky Cheung was named the second generation of Hong Kong's "God of Songs"
The Four Heavenly Kings became a business card in Hong Kong. The four of them went hand in hand and set foot in many fields of the entertainment industry. They were business cards externally and competitors internally. Like Alan Tam's fans, their fans are also very competitive.
Until 1993, Jacky Cheung's album " kiss goodbye " broke the record of the highest sales volume in the history of many albums, and was awarded the title of "God of Song", which differentiated the different development directions of the four heavenly kings. , Jacky Cheung focuses on making music.What is interesting about
is that the popularity of Hong Kong's " four kings " has stimulated Taiwan's music scene, and Taiwanese fans have also selected their four kings, namely Qi Qin , Zhou Huajian , Wang Jie and Tong Ange, Although the strength of each of these four plays a pivotal role in the music scene, as far as the title of "Four Heavenly Kings" is concerned, their influence is not a little bit worse than that of Hong Kong. Many people have never heard of "Taiwan's Four Heavenly Kings".
Is Eason Chan the third-generation "God of Songs"?
The Hong Kong music scene seems to be in a cycle. At the end of 1999, Li Ming announced in his singing that he would no longer attend any awards activities related to the music scene, nor would he receive any related awards. The music era of the Four Heavenly Kings It ends here.
Era of the Four Heavenly Kings Eason Chen is still a newcomer in the music world. In 1995, Eason Chen participated in the 14th Rookie Singing Contest and won the championship, and has officially debuted since then.
html In 398, Eason Chan gained the attention of the music world with his single " unparalleled in the world ". In 2000, he released the single "K king of songs " which quickly became popular. For the third generation of "God of Songs". After
, his works "ten years", " under Mount Fuji", " long time no see " , " exaggerated ", " love transfer " , " your backpack ", " People come and go, ", etc. have been well received, and more and more people have recognized his title of "God of Songs".
After 2000, the music world entered a new era.
It is a pity that after 2000, the music world and even the entire entertainment industry entered the Internet age. Newcomers to the mainland music world emerged one after another. No one or a few people can dominate the music world. Therefore, his title of song god is still questioned.
2004 was called by many people the year of "fighting among the gods in the music world". This year, there were countless golden songs in the music world, which are still talked about today.
With the decline of the record era, the music world has entered the Internet era, so it is very difficult to have a "singer". Today, we complain that many singers "eat a song for a lifetime", it is the Internet that makes these people taste the sweetness, who will If you make music with your heart, it is estimated that Xu Guanjie, Jacky Cheung, and Eason Chan can hardly believe that a song "Mouse Loves Rice" can make a singer earn more than 100 million yuan.
It may also be a good thing for a hundred flowers to bloom in the music world. After all, Jacky Cheung is 60 years old this year. How many years can he dedicate to the music world?
No matter whether it is a singer or a king, their popularity may be due to the times, but the memories they bring to us will never be indelible, thank you.
Finally, I wish Jacky Cheung a 60th birthday, I wish you a happy birthday and good health.
