In the 1970s and 1980s, a generation who grew up listening to Hong Kong radio often heard advertisements for "Haicheng Nightclub" on the radio. What is the difference between this nightclub and the nightglass that are full of money and are so ecstatic in my impression?
Chinese nightclub, or Chinese restaurant nightclub, was once very popular in Hong Kong in the mid-20th century. Chinese nightclubs evolved from Western nightclubs, providing Chinese dinners or banquets, and some have dance floors for customers to dance; and performances mainly include singers singing Chinese and Western pop songs or Cantonese opera. The performance is relatively healthy and suitable for adults and children to enjoy. Large-scale events of some groups or commercial organizations, such as anniversary dinners, were often held in Chinese nightclubs in their early years. Before the completion of performance venues such as Yiguan and Hongguan , Chinese nightclubs became the venue for popular singers’ concerts.
1970 to the 1980s Hong Kong was the peak period for Chinese restaurant nightclubs. At that time, famous ones included Tsim Sha Tsui Ocean Palace Nightclub and Haicheng Restaurant Nightclub, which were attracted by gorgeous decorations. However, due to the change in Hong Kong's economic environment and the fierce competition in hotel banquet business, traditional Chinese restaurants and nightclubs were difficult to survive and they graduated one after another.
Today we are reviewing Haicheng Restaurant Nightclub, is known as the world's largest theater-style nightclub . is located in the New World Center of Tsim Sha Tsui, and the father of the concert, Zhang Yaorong, is one of the shareholders. Opened in 1979 and closed at the end of July 1999. Nowadays, thousands of people in the Red Hall cheered and deafeningly. The Haicheng Nightclub at that time accommodated up to 1,600 viewers, but it was better because it was very close to the crowd. Even "Ange" performed for 1 hour and 15 minutes per performance. Although the time was short, the production was never sloppy. The lighting, dance, and music bands were the top. In the early stage of the opening, even Gu Jiahui and also became the band leader. Being able to take the stage in Haicheng is a symbol of status of becoming famous and popular.
Top 10 Popular Singers in Haicheng Nightclub:
. Xu Xiaofeng
Xiaofeng Sister is the best star in Haicheng. In terms of value, Xiaofeng Sister has always been the top spot in Hong Kong, which is incomparable to even Xu Guanjie . At that time, Xiaofeng Sister's appearance price was the highest among all Hong Kong singers, at 100,000 yuan per game, while the second-ranked Zhen Ni was 30,000 yuan.
In 1984, Xiaofeng held 42 concerts in Haicheng. Even after running the night horse, the opening of 11:3 was full. Although the Red Hall was completed the previous year, and Xu Guanjie, , Teresa Teng, , has been in the works one after another, but because of the poor box office of the , Lisa Du, , many singers are discouraged, and Haicheng is still highly sought after by singers.
. Luo Wen
Luo Ji is a person with a temperament and a generous person. Others are most afraid of meeting "drunks" when singing in nightclubs. When Luo Jixing goes, he will come down to the stage to ask the guests to drink. He will tell the guests loudly - the more I drink my voice, the more I drink it!
. Zhen Ni
After Fu Sheng turned around, Zhen Ni once left for a while, and made a comeback after making a comeback with "Lonely Again", and also became popular in Haicheng Kaiser, and set a precedent for buying insurance. It was related to the record company's popularity and was afraid of any mistakes, so she bought insurance and asked for safety.
. Qingshan
Baodao Song Wang Qingshan has always had a large number of supporters in Hong Kong. As long as the advertisement is released, the tickets will be sold out in a short period of time.
. Yao Surong
After the song "Tears" Yao Surong not only became popular in Taiwan, but also became popular in Hong Kong. It is related to the fact that many Hong Kong people in the 1960s learned Mandarin through Yao Surong's singing. Yao Surong is their idol. Young men and women can sing "Don't Go Home Today" and appear on stage in Haicheng. It is so popular that they don't even have the position of a stool.
. Danny Chan
Since the program director of Haicheng is Danny Chan's senior sister, based on friendship, Chen Jiaying was relieved to let Danny go to the "nightclub" to sing. Before, Haicheng's guest route was relatively mature, but Danny was the touchstone. In addition to being very popular, he also attracted a group of young friends from his younger sisters, and the scene was quite lively.
. Jingting
Jingting is known as the "universal queen" in Hong Kong. She is a famous behind-the-scenes singer in Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s. She is known for her super singing skills. Jingting's rewards back then were far better than the most popular stars in the movie. For example, her singing two songs was equivalent to the salary of Asian actress Ling Bo's one month. During the heyday of Chinese songs in Eida Records, Jingting was also known as the "Chief Queen of Hong Kong" and ranked first among many famous singers.
.Daoming
At the end of 1991, at the beginning of 1991, fans took the lead. In addition to buying tickets, they also bribed the security guards of the New World Center, allowing them to see through the secret channels of singers and get close to their idols.
. Lingbo
"Suburban Road" is recognized as difficult to sing, especially a long note in the middle, which is written in the score that cannot be breathed. It was very satisfying to be sung by the golden voice of the past! "The Suburbs" has also become a must-sing song by Ling Bo on stage in Haicheng.
0. Wu Yingyin
"Naring Song Queen" Wu Yingyin was as famous as Baiguang and Zhou Xuan in the 1980s, but in the 1980s, the director of Haicheng was too young to know Wu Yingyin's origin, and once shelved her arrangements for the stage. Later, Xi Xiulan , Jingting and others strongly recommended Wu Yingyin, so she planned to try it out with the theme of nostalgia night. As a result, as soon as the news of Wu Yingyin's on-stage debut came out, the reservation was unexpectedly enthusiastic, and many fans ordered several nights to support it.
Haicheng, like a star-studded superstar concentration camp, 20 years of prosperity, in July 1999, because the owners did not renew their rent and the concert entertainment model has been updated, a glorious stage of a generation came to an end.
