These days, I have been constantly brushing the news of the four kings of Hong Kong. But then again, the four heavenly kings will make headlines immediately if they have a little trouble.
In the quicksand entertainment circle, too many people are fleeting, but they have made an immortal myth.
On February 9th, 65438, Jacky Cheung, the god of songs, gave a concert in Shenzhen and got to know Wang Feng, who is half the world of music.
This narrow road meeting ignited a big discussion among netizens about "Jacky Cheung and Wang Feng pk concert box office", and the final outcome can be imagined.
12 14 After falling from a horse and being injured, Andy Lau, a king who seldom moves, received an honorary doctorate from Hong Kong Shue Yan University.
Unexpectedly, Liu Tianwang, who works as hard as a cow in the entertainment circle, is still an out-and-out schoolmaster.
Someone broke the news earlier. This year, the most eye-catching Golden Needle Award in Hong Kong's music scene will be awarded to Dawn.
As soon as the news was released, a stone immediately stirred up a thousand waves.
The Golden Needle Award is the highest honor and palace-level award in Hong Kong's music scene. Samuel Hui, Tianhou Paula Tsui, Teresa Teng, Yin Ge George Lam, Sihuang, Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui, Chen Baiqiang and others have all won.
Jacky Cheung, one of the four great kings, also won the Golden Needle Award as early as 17 years ago.
More crucially, the most popular candidate for the Golden Needle Award has been focused on Andy Lau. Do you still remember Dawn's famous saying "No one can lose to Andy Lau"?
Previously, both Liu Tianwang and Li Tianwang had previously expressed their rejection of the Golden Needle Award. I wonder whose house will be honored this year?
But the probability between Andy Lau and Dawn is quite high.
The honorifics of Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Liming and Aaron Kwok, the four heavenly kings of Hong Kong, have been used for nearly 30 years since their founding, and their influence has spread to the whole Greater China region.
Their influence has even overwhelmed Hong Kong TVB, Flying Tigers, Hong Kong Sister Beauty Pageant and Vidalia Bay, becoming the first cultural symbol in Hong Kong, and almost representing the entire entertainment circle in Hong Kong at its peak.
When it comes to the influence of music, Jacky Cheung is far ahead of the four kings, and his title of "God of Songs" is almost as long as that of the four kings.
JUNG WOO, director of the commercial station, spoke highly of him as "the successor of the singing god in the 1990s" at the 1992 Emerald Pure Gold Award Ceremony.
Jacky Cheung also lived up to expectations and became the most popular singer in the Chinese-speaking world in the 1990s. A song "Kissing Goodbye" won the second place in the world, second only to Michael Jackson, the pop king who is regarded as the god of songs.

Even the Golden Needle Award was awarded to him early, and he joined the team of emperors in Alan Tam, Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung. Obviously, he should keep his distance from the other three kings.
Among Andy Lau, Dawn and Aaron Kwok, Aaron Kwok, the king of dancing, is relatively weak. As can be seen from the major music awards in the 1990s, Andy Lau and Liming are evenly matched.
At the beginning of the deification of the four heavenly kings, it was because the music scene in Hong Kong experienced the hegemony of Zhang Tan and the "Battle of the Thousand and One Nights" (Sunset Song by Anita Mui and Song of Qian Qian Que by Priscilla Chan), and the old superstars withdrew from the music awards ceremony, leaving Hong Kong with no talents.
Just as Chyi Chin, Wang Jie, Tong Ange, Emil Wakin Chau and other powerful singers from Taiwan Province Province flew across the river, in the face of the situation that non-local singers came to "occupy the land", the Hong Kong music scene launched four kings to compete with singers from Taiwan Province Province such as Wang Qi and Zhou Tong.
Therefore, the top resources of Hong Kong's music scene are given priority by this handful of people.
Jacky Cheung, born in 1980s, is a talented singer and a frequent visitor to major award ceremonies.
At the 1985 Ten Jade Pure Gold Awards Ceremony, he sat with Jackie Chan after winning the prize and watched George Lam's anger at Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung.
When Jacky Cheung first made his debut, he and Lv Fang were regarded as the future stars of Hong Kong music. They held a concert together in the Red Pavilion. After gaining momentum, Jacky Cheung gave six concerts in the Red Pavilion alone.
Judging from the indicators and achievements of Hong Kong music scene in the 1980s when Zhang Zai dominated the music scene, Jacky Cheung has been ranked as a quasi-first-class singer.
Let's take a look at Andy Lau and Liming, the "rivals of the century".
Andy Lau TVB was born in Wuhu. He, Tony Leung Chiu Wai,,, and Tang Dou are the best in television. After meeting Yin Ge George Lam, he studied under George Lam and entered the music world.
Liu Tianwang is a typical actor, but his singing skills are great. Early Tony Leung Chiu Wai, like him, worked hard in the music world for several years, and then went back to be the film emperor with peace of mind.
Andy Lau began to release records across borders in 1980s, but it didn't cause much sensation. Fortunately, Liu Tianwang has a tenacious spirit and persistently sang 1990, and was finally recognized as one of the top ten Chinese golden songs with "Can I".
Liming is also a singer in the talent show. 1986, liming participated in the fifth rookie singing contest and won the third place. The runner-up in front of him is Xu Zhian. In addition, the former champions of this competition are Anita Mui, Lv Fang, Dicky Cheung and Alejandro delfino.
Further on, Sammi Cheng, Eason Chan and Miriam Yeung are his brothers and sisters. Great, isn't it? Compared with the current fast men and super women, the draft was really strong.
In order to make himself stand out in the competition, Li Ming designed a trick: put his coat on his shoulder, drop it on the ground on purpose, and then bend over to pick up his clothes. The mind of the heavenly king is really delicate!
Li Minghe, like Faye Wong, is from Beijing. He studied singing from Dai Sicong, the godfather of Hong Kong Opera, but he had no musical atmosphere since childhood.
Huaxing Records is tied to the rookie competition, and all artists participating in the competition have to sign up for Huaxing, and Liming is no exception, but there are a large number of champion brothers and sisters in front of him, and he is not the third runner-up.
Later, under the mediation of my teacher, Dai Sicong, Dawn transferred to Polaroid Records Company, and finally made it to the early stage. But it's a long way to go, Xiu Yuan, and Andy Lau has signed with him.
In front of them, Jacky Cheung is more qualified, and the whole family is playing in Polaroid. Well, the four kings of Hong Kong, the Polaroid family, took three seats. How awesome is this record company? We will write articles to remember it in the future.
On top of the three heavenly kings, there are ancient gods, such as Samuel Hui and Alan Tam, such as Jin Baoli. However, the 1990s were the era of the Four Kings, and they became the target of the whole entertainment circle in Hong Kong.
Some people are happy and others are worried. When the three heavenly kings get good resources, some people will get bad resources or even no resources.
Hacken Lee and Huang Kaiqin, both very powerful masters, are even more miserable. However, they can't compete with Jacky Cheung and meet two peerless handsome men, Liming and Andy Lau.
Due to the unfair distribution of Polaroid's resources, Hacken Lee and Huang Kaiqin left one after another. Hacken Lee was originally on an equal footing with Andy Lau and Liming, but Aaron Kwok cheated on him and returned to Hong Kong from Taiwan, kicking him out of the sequence of the Four Kings.
In the early 1990s, when the four heavenly kings were just starting, who was more popular and handsome between Andy Lau and Dawn?
After consulting several experienced people, they all agreed that the dawn of that year was too handsome and too hot! The peak of Yan value is seconds!
Of course, I don't mean that Liu Tianwang is not handsome or spicy, and I don't mean to belittle him at all. As far as things are concerned, Liu Tianwang belongs to the long-term type and has been handsome for decades.
Then at the music awards ceremony in the 1990s, Andy Lau and Liming were almost evenly matched.
1999, Dawn took the lead in withdrawing from the music awards ceremony among the four great kings, and then Jacky Cheung also announced his withdrawal. Liu Tianwang struggled in the music world again 10 years.
What's more, after Jacky Cheung quit, he immediately got the honorary certification of the Golden Needle Award.
Next, let's take a look at Andy Lau and Liming, who will win the Golden Needle Award first!
