1997, the competition for " Four Heavenly Kings " became increasingly fierce.
Andy Lau is not as good as Aaron Kwok in terms of dancing, and is in line with Dawn in terms of appearance, and loses to the god of singing Jacky Cheung in terms of singing.
and he is 36 years old.
Want to continue to get a share of the pie in this turbulent and fresh meat-filled music scene, which means he must transform. How to transform
?
Since you can't sing, then write your own lyrics and tell stories to give the song a sense of picture.
So this iconic album "Love is unforgettable". The first five songs of the
album were found to direct Ma Chucheng, and the songs were connected and made into a classic MV story, with each with its focus.
01
" Lone Star Tears "
tells a boy who grew up in a violent family.
He has witnessed his father's atrocities since he was a child. When drunk, my father would whip his mother with a whip.
Once, the boy resisted and angered his father.
The mother chose to endure domestic violence, which made the boy unable to understand. He ran away from home in anger.
After wandering, the boy grew up and became a wood carver and lived by the sea.
He did not go home again, he did not get along with others, he was disappointed in love and interpersonal relationships, he was like a "lone star".
"The Lone Star Tears" is composed by Wu Bai , and the song has a "Tender Rock" style.
"I am a drop of tears from a lonely star in the distance, hidden in you for tens of thousands of years."
's first voice sing, combined with the MV's strong story-based style, is unforgettable.
02
" Ice Rain " + "Boy and Girl"
One day, a girl came to the beach to take photos and collect folk songs.
She accidentally took a photo of this lonely boy, and she was attracted by the boy.
She often goes to the beach hut to find this boy.
The two of them fell in love over time.
The girl suggested that boys should go to the city more and see more and get in touch with people more.
They made an appointment to meet at a roadside stall.
The boy dressed up and went out and accidentally found the girl getting out of a luxury car.
It turns out that the girl is a daughter from a good family.
The boy is inferior, plus the "violent love concept" of his old parents.
He locked his heart and avoided the girl.
Once, there was an accidental fire at home.
The boy was burned by fire in order to save the wood carvings and was blind.
He ran out of the house in a crash. Standing by the sea.
He felt very cold, as if the world was in a "ice rain".
"Ice Rain" is written by Andy Lau .
Hong Kong music genius Huang Zhan used to say that Andy Lau's lyrics are bad, but he relied on a handsome face to make a living, but he praised the lyrics written by "Ice Rain".
This song has a bug that has been bothering for many years.
"You are like an executioner betrayed me, and my heart seems to be slaughtered by a bayonet"
Andy Lau read "Executioner" in the song "Executioner" is kuài.
"Executioner" in mainland China is pronounced as guì zǐ shǒu. Why is
read incorrectly?
It turns out that the pronunciation "executioner" in Taiwan is indeed pronounced kuài zi shǒu.
At that time, the target of the album was the Taiwanese market, and it was pronounced as kuài.
There are also netizens who are quainted with words and say that the subtitles are actually wrong. This should be the "buddy player" and "buddy".
What the idler is talking about is the merchant who wins over and makes profits from it, rather than the "executioner" who beheaded in ancient times.
This controversy between the kuài child has been going on until now.
But it seems that you must sing the song into guì, which may be even more strange.
"Boys and Girls" focuses on the relationship between two men and women with huge differences.
The boy refused to see the girl and felt that he could not afford to climb.
The girl is begging each other hard.In
MV, she found an axe and split the boy's door.
When the blind boy was seen, the girl understood everything.
The boy said, you go.
The girl decided not to let go.
The song is also written by Andy Lau. The lyrics of
include a love sentence like "Whoever is right and who is wrong will learn to admit defeat, so that it will reduce each other's pain".
is lyrical and catchy. Unfortunately, under the strong style of "Ice Rain" and "Lone Star Tears", this song has become cannon fodder.
03
" The person who steals memories " and "Don't talk about the pain of love" continues to tell this love story:
The mother was seriously ill, and the boy went to visit her mother.
The boy was blind at this time, and the girl was by his side.
Father was also present.
The father cried and confessed in front of the hospital bed, saying his reluctance to his mother.
The boy realized then that his father loved his mother deeply.
It’s just that he used the wrong way. Perhaps his father was afraid of losing his mother, so he kept using "violence" to control his love.
Anyway, it's too late.
The three reconciled the moment before their mother died.
After the mother died, she left her cornea to the boy.
Before the operation, the girl was always with the boy.
After the operation, the boy's eyes recovered, but he found that the girl had quietly left.
At this moment, he finally realized the girl's kindness to him and realized that he loved her unforgettably.
He waited for the heroine at the roadside stall where he had made a promise.
In the world of fireworks and colorful radiance, he expressed his love to the girl.
"The Person Who Steals Memories" is a niche love song.
went crazy, dreamed,
blew the wind, blew the cold,
was confused,
cooperated with the MV story, this word points out the scars left by the past to the boy.
Do you know that in my heart
can't believe you are the one who steals memories
Why is me? Become your victim

You just chose the love you need
Leave my hollow soul

It’s a pity that such a “mood” lacks love and most people have few resonances, so it has not been widely sung.
However, another song "Don't Say Love" sung by Andy Lau and Anita Mui and has become popular, and it is very reasonable.
Why your love My love is so bitter
I have also given true love, I have moved true love, but I don’t stop
No matter how passionate love is, I love ruthlessly, I have to go through life
Don’t say the bitter love, don’t say the bitter love, I should be clear after love
lyrics are easy to understand, love is hard, tired, and difficult, this is the norm, which resonates with most listeners.
song tune is sad and beautiful, and it is also added to the chorus of men and women. Become a KTV memory and a must-kill love song.

"A Letter to You" is a song written by Andy Lau to fans.
lyrics are sincere and sincere, recalling the days he spent with his fans . It can also be regarded as the predecessor of "17-year-old ".
The last song is the Minnan song "The World's First Class" that cannot be concealed by the light.
A glass of wine and two corners of silver
When it's time to join in the formation
If you want to talk about feelings
I am the world's number one
