There is an old saying, "The times create heroes." It is said that if a brave person is lucky enough to seize the fleeting opportunities, he will definitely achieve great achievements by taking advantage of the favorable times. Today we will give an example.
Episode 1970s From 1973 to 1978, there was a hot idol and powerful band in Hong Kong: Winner , known as Winner Five Tigers.

Two of the lead singers: A lead singer Alan Tam, B lead singer and guitar Zhong Zhentao (the nicknames of Ah B and B come from here). Don’t think that B lead singer is slightly inferior. AB position is just two people standing on their own. In fact, in the five years since Wen Na’s popularity, many of Wen Na’s songs were led by Chung Zhentao.


Regarding who is more popular, the music master who made Wen Na’s famous in one hand, and the musician who worked in depth with Alan Tam Huang Jun , who worked in depth with Alan Tam, have confirmed this statement on different occasions: Chung Zhentao was more popular than Alan Tam.
Zhong Zhentao is 1.83 meters tall, tall, sunny and handsome,


Of course, Alan Tam also has a handsome appearance. The two can be regarded as the beauty of Wen Na at that time,


But Zhong Zhentao is more popular among female fans. This can be seen from the singing programs of the TV and TVB that Zhong Zhentao was promoted by senior management in 1975 that Zhong Zhentao was higher in popularity and attention than Alan Tam.
By 1978, Zhong Zhentao was the first to be noticed by a film company and decided to go to Taiwan to develop his career. In the same year, the Winner Band was peacefully disbanded.

After Zhong Zhentao arrived in Taiwan, he co-starred with Lin Fengjiao (later Jackie Chan's beloved wife), one of the "two forests" in Taiwan. He starred in the first movie " Small City Story " and won the 16th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards Best Drama Film Award. Zhong Zhentao can be said to have successfully landed in Taiwan and has a bright future. At this time, Alan Tam, who was not satisfied in Hong Kong, was eager to try after seeing Zhong Zhentao's success in Taiwan, hoping that he could also change his development direction.
After becoming famous in Taiwan, Zhong Zhentao soon shifted his career focus to Taiwan. The movie "Good Morning Taipei" starring Lin Fengjiao won the Best Drama Award at the Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards that year. Then Ah B starred in two romantic art films of Qiong Yao , " Gathering and Distance " and "Dream Clothes" and became the spokesperson for the male lead of Qiong Yao's movie, and for a time, she became the ideal lover in the hearts of millions of Taiwanese girls.

1979, with the help of his good brother Ah B, Alan Tam transferred his work focus from Hong Kong to Taiwan to develop. In the next three years, he also filmed nearly 20 art films. He was really willing to plant flowers but not bloom, and he was unwilling to plant willows and willows to become shade. In 1981, Alan Tam actually won the Best Actor Award at the 18th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for starring in the movie "If I Are Real"!

(To be fair, this film is a prejudiced Chinese Cultural Revolution film described by Taiwan, with absurd plot, and there are certain zz factors to win the grand prize)
The clever and wise Alan Tam should have a clear understanding of his acting prospects. At this moment, the opportunity has come!
Because of this, something not big happened in the Hong Kong music scene: just as the God of Songs at the peak of the world, Xu Guanjie left the dominant Polykin , which had a dominant position in the Hong Kong music scene, and joined Kang Yicheng (Xinyibao).

And Polygon Records suddenly lost a leading emperor superstar, and urgently needed another suitable successor to fill the gap.
and also in Polygold (Alan Tam signed with Winner in 1974 and signed with Winner in Polygold's predecessor, and Winner renewed it personally after his disbandment). Although Alan Tam, whose focus is on developing in Taiwan, has been insisting on posting songs for the past three years and has not stayed away from the Hong Kong music circle, it will come when he sees it, and Alan Tam immediately decisively turned his career back to the Cantonese music scene in Hong Kong! It was also the time that Alan Tam seized the opportunity this time. Back then, he first won the third commercial radio Golden Melody Award for "I Can't Forget You",

and won the top ten Chinese Golden Melody of the year for "Thinking about the Future" that he bowed to, and won the top ten Chinese Golden Melody Award for "Hiddenly a Goose on the Sky " the following year. He squeezed into a first-line Hong Kong singer and was valued and highly praised by the company Polykin.

84 and 1985 Alan Tam and Lin Mincong worked together to create it, and successively launched the famous "Love Trilogy": " Love in the Fog ", " The Roots of Love ", and "Love Trap". It established its position as the emperor superstar in the Cantonese music scene in Hong Kong in one fell swoop.
From then on, Alan Tam's singing career has been cheating and reaching the peak.

Watch Zhong Zhentao again, and still focused his acting career on Taiwan. Until he returned to Hong Kong in 1983, he could no longer compete with Alan Tam. Later, he encountered a financial crisis and a disintegration of his marriage and entered a trough.

As the saying goes, the times create heroes. Alan Tam took advantage of the vacuum period when Xu Guanjie left Polygon and actively took over the position and quickly became a superstar. Of course, he seized the opportunity and returned to Hong Kong to develop decisively, but more because of his consistent efforts and outstanding musical talent.

It is worth mentioning that Alan Tam has an indissoluble bond with his boss Polykin. He was signed under Polykin (called Polygon at that time) since the time of the Winner band, and the principal "ends in one way" for so many years. In 1999, Polyglin was acquired by Universal Records in the United States. In 2013, Universal Records announced that it would rebuild Polyglin's Hong Kong branch: and that Alan Tam has not left for more than 40 years. It is the wisest choice for both parties.

And since his generation of singer Xu Guanjie left Polygin and joined Xinyibao, his record sales began to gradually decline. He immediately adjusted his direction and made the movie " Best Partner " series with the highest pay at that time, which gave his career a new development.

But his record sales have been unsatisfactory since then. In the early 1990s, Xu Guanjie had the intention to retreat and announced his farewell in 1992. His farewell concerts were held for 41 consecutive times, and the old generation of singers retired.
