Twenty years ago, on April 6, 2002, Su Yongkang released the Cantonese album "Kangding Love Song". It was with this album as the turning point that Su Yongkang suffered the biggest Waterloo in his singer career.
If Li Dan can travel to 2002, he will definitely say helplessly that this is an album that abuses homophones. Just because of the word "Kang" in the singer's name, Zhengdong Records forcibly related to the "Kangding Love Song", which was listed by UNESCO as one of the "most influential" folk songs. In this regard, we have to admire the golden age of Hong Kong and Taiwan music, the production teams' imagination and execution ability of "do as you think of it".
However, a Cantonese album that has taken advantage of the popularity of Sichuan folk songs has made fans unable to accurately grasp the positioning of the album. In terms of the quality of the entire album, the songs included in this time are relatively mediocre, lacking one or two masterpieces that can be ranked, so this album did not cause much response.
In fact, Zhengdong Records attaches great importance to Su Yongkang. Since Su Yongkang became popular through "the more you kiss, the more sad you feel", the several albums released by the record company have maintained high quality. Finally, by continuously outputting classic songs such as "It's so hard to love someone", "I still want to end", and "Sad to stop", Su Yongkang, an inconspicuous third-tier singer, officially joined the ranks of superstars in the music industry.
Unfortunately, Su Youkang chose to cut off his meridians.
Just two months after the album "Kangding Love Song" was released, in the early morning of June 9, 2002, Su Yongkang was arrested by the police in a well-known Taiwanese Pub. Police suspected that Su Yongkang held and consumed ecstasy, so he was imprisoned and forced to quit for 11 days, setting a disgrace record for the shortest "tick" in Taiwan.
Public apology after Su Yongkang's drug abuse incident
Until this time, Zhengdong Records did not give up on Su Yongkang, and soon launched the Mandarin album "Super Nice" for him and held the "Kangding Love Song Concert".
But these actions did not save Su Yongkang's singer career. The records were unsalable, commercial performances were cancelled, and the public had a large number of negative comments. Many years later, Su Yongkang talked about this past event and admitted with a wry smile that he had fallen into a tragic situation at that time.
Fortunately, in 2011, with the song " Who is ", Su Yongkang created a miracle and staged the most incredible salted fish turnaround in the Hong Kong music scene.
Seeing Su Yongkang win the grand prize again, he felt more and more that his wasted time was a pity.
Nowadays, even though Su Yongkang can occasionally show his presence, the music scene has long been no longer the beginning of the century when he called for the wind and rain. He also followed Hong Kong pop music and could only rely on a little afterglow to prove that he was once brilliant!
