1968, 18-year-old Alan Tam went to great lengths to catch up with a beautiful girl, but unfortunately, the beautiful girl had a new love, blocking Alan Tam. Alan Tam was hit hard and cried at home for two days.
In order to relieve the depression, Alan Tam started singing under the influence of Hue Guanjie and the Beatles, and also participated in the school singing competition. Unexpectedly, this singing was hit one after another.
The teacher said he couldn't sing, and his father said that he was dressed inappropriately, his hair was longer than his sister, and he didn't look like a serious child no matter how he looked. He didn't agree to play music again...
Alan Tam was unwilling to accept it, but his father Tan Jiangbai is not an ordinary parent who is easy to fool.
This former famous football player was born in Guangzhou. has participated in the anti-Japanese war between the 19th Route Army, has also played in the Berlin Olympics, nicknamed "Tan Tongtou", and has also received the gold watch given by Hitler.
Tan Jiangbai wanted his son to inherit his father's business, but his wife Zhu Weixun had two daughters in a row. Tan Jiangbai was very anxious. At that time, Hong Kong had not abolished the "polygamy system", so he married the wealthy business daughter Chen Zhenni .
Chen Zhenni really gave birth to a son. Tan Jiangbai was very happy and named her son Alan Tam and wanted her to have several more sons to form a football team for him. As a result, Chen Zhenni gave birth to three daughters in a row...
The dream of the football team was not realized. Instead, because there were too many children and had no time to take care of business... The Tan family changed from a wealthy family to a civilian who could not even afford the tuition for 5 yuan, and a family of 9 was squeezed into a small house of 50 square meters.
Alan Tam is the only son in the family, and Tan’s father put all his hopes on him.
A young Alan Tam also secretly swore: When you grow up, you must earn enough face for your family and let the whole family live a good life.
But Alan Tam is very thin. Tan's father wanted his son to learn to play football, but he was afraid that others would kick his legs apart. He could only enjoy the pleasure of playing football by himself.
Tsang Zhiwei It was at this time that he entered Alan Tam’s circle of friends. When Tan Jiangbai played football with Zeng Zhiwei's father Zeng Qirong, Alan Tam was playing with Zeng Zhiwei, who was 3 years younger than him.
cannot make face for the family by playing football, and it is not good to study well. He encountered a broken heart again. Alan Tam healed himself in the world of music. He wanted to make a difference, but was strongly opposed by his father.
Alan Tam was anxious and said to his father: "My girlfriend ran away. I'm afraid the music will not be allowed to be played anymore. I'm afraid..." When Tan's father heard this, the content behind "is probably unimaginable", so he quickly said OK OK, I promise you.
Not long after, Alan Tam sang in a nightclub and met a group of like-minded friends. and Chen You, Peng Jianxin, Ye Zhiqiang, Chen Baixiang , and Chen Baishen formed a band and participated in singing competitions many times.
It’s a pity that the results are not very good.
In 1970, 20-year-old Alan Tam participated in the "Beach Music Festival" singing competition with his teammates and lost again.
Just as they were dejectedly preparing to leave, they suddenly picked up an registration form called "Loosers". As soon as the few people gathered, they took this form and participated again. Then, something unexpected happened.
,
The same people just changed their names to participate, but the ending was very different: This time, they not only did not get eliminated, but instead won the championship in one fell swoop!
Alan Tam and his teammates believed that the name "Loosers" brought good luck. Although the meaning of it is actually "losers", it is a bit unlucky, so they decided to form a band under the name "Loosers".
Just as he won the championship, Chen Baixiang became a little arrogant. He pried out the corner of others and fell in love with He Xiuwen, who was not selected as "Miss Global", and the scandal quickly became popular in many media.
One day, an agent named Liang Botao saw the report and found that he and Chen Baixiang were actually neighbors.
He had heard the songs coming from the next door and admired them very much. Now they have the title of "Champion", so they matched each other. asked the Loosers band to sign a contract with Polygon Records (the predecessor of Polygon).
With the help of Liang Botao's resources, Loosers' fame soared. He also defeated Xu Guanjie's Lotus Band at the Youth Music Festival, won the "Taoist Special Award" voted by the audience, and participated in the performance on TVB.
Originally, Loosers became popular just around the corner, but the brothers Chen Baixiang and Chen Baishen went to do business under the business trend in Hong Kong...
Tan's father found the right opportunity and quickly sent Alan Tam to Singapore to study for a university. lost two lead singers at once, and the band that had been established for less than a year was like their team name Loosers, so they had to announce their failure and disband.
Alan Tam took advantage of the band's fame and got together with his fan Angela. The two of them were in a state of chaos, and they were inseparable from each other. Therefore, Angela followed closely and was admitted to the university where Alan Tam was.
After returning to school, Alan Tam did not want to let down his father's efforts, and became a good student and devoted himself to studying.
After a long time, Angela became unhappy and said to him: "I follow you from all the way, but you treat me as a transparent person. If you can't... then I'll talk about it." So the two often quarreled, and the more they quarreled, the more fierce they became.
In 1973, 23-year-old Alan Tam suddenly fell seriously ill and took a break from school to return to Hong Kong to rest. After he recovered from his illness, he didn't want to go to school again, so he found a job, delivered express delivery during the day and went to a nightclub to sing at night.
Angena saw that Alan Tam was in poor health and could not learn anymore, and her future was worrying, so she got a small break. When she returned to Hong Kong during the holiday, she visited him. The two of them were rubbing each other. She accidentally said: "Driving me home..."
After saying that, she realized that it was confused and quickly asked for a supplement and said: "I'm sorry, I forgot that you don't have a car..." Alan Tam burst when he heard this and said: It turned out that her head was green, and her girlfriend had already found a takeover...
was dumped for the second time, and Alan Tam only cried for a day. After crying, he sang hard, and his emotions were all in the song... At this moment, he and Liang Botao met by chance. After a reminiscing about the past, the two coincided with each other and planned to reorganize the band.
At this time, Chen Baixiang's two brothers' business was in full swing and they were unwilling to return to the team. Seeing that there was not enough staff, Liang Botao suddenly remembered another great man.
,
it turned out that during the disbanding of Loosers, Liang Botao became the agent of the "Sergeant Ma-jors" band, but the band did not last long and it was disbanded.
Liang Botao believes that Sergeant Ma-jors' lead singer Zhong Zhentao is also a great man, so he asked him to form a new band with Alan Tam, Chen You, Peng Jianxin, Ye Zhiqiang and Singaporean artist Andrew Oh.
has the previous lessons of the failure of "Loosers". This time the band wants to "win", so they named it "Wynners" , with Chinese homophonic "Winna ", with Alan Tam and Zhong Zhentao as the dual lead singers.
soon, AndrewOh left the team, with only 5 people left in "Winna", known as "Winna Five Tigers" . Soon, "Winna" sang an English song and imitated the avant-garde outfit of the Beatles' long hair, sunglasses, and sponge shoes.
The second year, "Winna" released its first EP "SUN SHINER" to test the waters. Unexpectedly, it soon became a popular song in Hong Kong and topped the Dragon and Tiger List that year.
With the success of the first EP, "Winna" took advantage of the victory and released the second EP "Sha-La-La", which also received a warm response and has long been at the top of the Hong Kong radio popular list. After
, "Winner" officially released its first album "Listen to The Wynners", which soon became popular in Southeast Asia, making "Winners" a popular idol band.
974, seeing that his career had improved, 24-year-old Alan Tam had some other ideas. Especially, he felt even more itchy when he saw that his handsome young man Zeng Zhiwei married both talented and beautiful Wang Meihua .
Finally, once in a nightclub performance, Alan Tam pulled up the little hands of his fans Yang Jiewei , and the two started dating.
Yang Jiewei was a beauty consultant at the time, with unique aesthetics of stage image and performance clothing. For the sake of Alan Tam's career, she simply quit her job, devoted herself to becoming Alan Tam's full-time assistant.
Not only that, she also studied dance design, stage design, etc., and became a professional artistic planner, devoted all her energy to Alan Tam, ran for him, and worked hard to organize concerts and commercial performances...
But at that time, Alan Tam's career was in a period of rapid growth. In order not to affect development, the relationship between the two could only remain underground. 's public identity to the outside world, Yang Jiewei is just Alan Tam's "image designer".
Yang Jiewei also had no complaints and was willing to be the "secret lover" behind him. With Yang Jiewei's support, Alan Tam's career seemed to have opened up the Ren and Du meridians, and soon ushered in a new period of explosion.
,
1975, the rapid popularity of "Winna" attracted the attention of the film and television industry. Both Huang Jun and "Shao Brothers" extended an olive branch to "Winna" and invited them to make movies. "Shao Brothers" directly issued 8 film contracts.
Liang Botao weighed the matter and decided to cooperate with Baoding Film Company, which Huang Zheng had just founded, so that "Wenna Five Tigers" could star in the movie "Big Lottery " tailored for them by Huang Zheng.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of collaborating with movies, Liang Botao asked Huang Jun to write lyrics and compose music himself, and gave "Wen Na" a movie soundtrack album.
songs such as "Playing Scared", "L-O-V-E LOVE", "Only One Heart" written and composed by Huang Zhen were all very popular, and they won numerous awards and made a lot of money.
years later, Taiwanese film companies also took a fancy to the fame of "Winna" and invited Zhong Zhentao, the band's appearance, to go to Taiwan to collaborate with Lin Fengjiao on the movie " Small Town Story " (Stories of Zhong Zhentao, see the previous selection of Wan Xiaodao official account: "Bin Zhentao: The "Super Star" Changed by Cuckold").
Lin Fengjiao and Lin Qingxia were as famous as they were, and they were already very popular, with only 3 years left to enter Jackie Chan's range.
As soon as Zhong Zhentao left, he disrupted the development plan of "Wenna". The band lost a lead singer, and Alan Tam and others were idle. They fished and bowled every day... Finally, half a year later, they announced their disbandment.
"Winna Five Tigers" each went solo, but they made an appointment to release an album every 5 years. Later, they also participated in film and television dramas together, and also won the "Golden Melody Award" Golden Needle Award in the name of the band.

This year, Alan Tam and Lin Fengjiao collaborated on the movie " Forget-Word Grass ", but his Mandarin was too bad, Lin Fengjiao couldn't understand, and the director couldn't understand it. He was so angry that he cursed at him: "Stop work for one week, and then shoot it after memorization."
Which one can practice well in a week? There is no way. In the end, the crew could only let Alan Tam count "one, two, three..." when he spoke lines, and then dubbed him later... Fortunately, the movie received a good response after it was released, otherwise he would be scolded very badly like the "fresh meat" who talked about numbers now.
981, Alan Tam released his third album "I Can't Forget You", achieving good results in four platinums, and firmly sits as a top singer in the Hong Kong music scene.
The movie "If I Are Real" starring him and Hu Guanzhen was also well received, winning him the nomination for " Golden Horse Actor ", but at the award ceremony, he made a fool of himself.
.
Although he was nominated for the "Golden Horse Award", Alan Tam has a self-knowledge: his lines talk about numbers and his acting skills are not very confident, so he just thought this nomination was to make up the numbers and didn't take it seriously at all...
Therefore, when the host announced the " Best Actor Winner at the 18th Golden Horse Awards, Alan Tam ", Alan Tam was chatting with people in the audience. When someone reminded him, he also said, "What are you doing? Why are you calling me?"
He raised his head and saw the camera flashing at him. He really couldn't believe that he won the "Actor" and floated on the stage like a dream.
stood on the stage and took the trophy. The 31-year-old Alan Tam's mind was still blank. He didn't know where to start his speech to win, but he just said stumblingly: "If I were a Golden (real), would I still be a Golden Horse Award?"
His Hong Kong accent caused laughter from the audience, and was ridiculed in the newspaper the next day.
This year, Lin Fengjiao and Jackie Chan met and fell in love at the Qin Xianglin party. Zeng Zhiwei divorced and married Zhu Xizhen again. Before he had time to register, his new love gave birth to two sons for Zeng Zhiwei: Zeng Guoxiang and Zeng Guoyou .

Alan Tam debuted nine years earlier than Leslie Cheung . He is a senior Leslie Cheung respects very much. However, when Leslie Cheung became popular in the streets and alleys with " Wind Continues to Blow " and "Monica", "Tan and Zhang Zhengba" were full of gunpowder under the media's exaggeration.
In the 1980s when the record industry was rising, major record companies did not hesitate to use artist hype, create topics, and achieve a win-win strategy of artist fame and company profits in order to seize market share.
In order to have a topic to write, the media also fanned the flames and fueled the fire, causing fans of both sides to be tense and abuse each other. The scene was very fierce...

obituary was published. The relationship between the two for 19 years finally went from secretly to Chen Cang to seeing the sun. In the face of media public opinion, Yang Jiewei stepped forward and defended Alan Tam and said, "I insisted on doing this, it has nothing to do with Alan Tam."
However, Yang Jiewei never expected that Alan Tam, who seemed dedicated, had already hidden a charm in the golden house and secretly enjoyed the blessings of the whole people.
Originally, Alan Tam could also continue to work against both sides and hide the truth, but unexpectedly, Zhu Yongting showed her killer move.
.
1995, 23-year-old Zhu Yongting became pregnant. Alan Tam couldn't bear the heat when he saw that the paper was so angry that he could only show off to Yang Jiewei. At that time, Hong Kong had already abolished the old "polygamy" system . Yang Jiewei was furious and scolded Alan Tam so bloody.
Alan Tam also knew that his beloved wife had paid too much and felt guilty, so he had to hand over the financial power to Yang Jiewei to verify her identity as the "master palace".
The second year, Zhu Yongting gave birth to a son, Tan Xiaofeng, for Alan Tam. When his son was full of moon, Zhu Yongting insisted that 46-year-old Alan Tam would hold his son to bask in the sun.
Alan Tam was fully armed with sunglasses and hat, but he was still photographed by reporters. The next day, it quickly became the headlines of major entertainment editions, causing storms in the city... In response, Alan Tam maintained his usual style and did not respond.

This year, personally won the Golden Needle Award, the highest honor in the music industry, and became a singer in the Hong Kong music industry who won the "Golden Needle Award" twice as a singer and a member of the band.
After that, Alan Tam was extremely cautious and did not respond to the news that the media had been stolen. He also kept this "triangle affair" for ten years.
Until 2006, Alan Tam's father Tan Jiangbai passed away. In order to fulfill his father's wish to let his grandson return to his hometown, he took the initiative to go to the radio to reveal the family affairs:
"The media has always wanted to know my family affairs. I do have a son named Tan Xiaofeng and a wife His name is Yang Jiewei, and he also has a confidant named Zhu Yongting. They are wronged and I feel it is hard work, so don’t learn from me.”
For "one husband and two wives", Alan Tam did not look for excuses like Jackie Chan to "make a mistake that all men will make", but said that Yang Jiewei could not give him what he wanted, and he missed his way to leave it for his father.
After actively admitting the "second wife" and the illegitimate son, Alan Tam also got his wish and wrote the names of Zhu Yongting and Tan Xiaofeng into the obituary of his father's death. The two attended Tan's father's funeral in a low-key manner.
House affairs were completely made public. Yang Jiewei was heartbroken, but she has always devoted herself to Buddha. In order to prevent the child from losing his fatherly love, she could only bear it silently.
Two years later, some media rumored that Yang Jiewei had suddenly realized her life, walked out of her love, moved to Zhilian Jingyuan to devote herself to practicing Buddhism, and became a monk. As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
But Alan Tam responded, saying that the media wrote randomly that there were no nuns in his family, and no one became a monk...
This year, Alan Tam is 71 years old. In this life, although there are some flaws in matters between men and women, as the only son in the family, he really fulfilled his childhood wish and became famous all over the world, and he really earned his family a lot of face.
