Yesterday, I introduced how Huang Guanzhong joined the Beyond Band. An unintentional help made Huang Guanzhong's great cause. The so-called "good intentions are rewarded" is also. At the end of the above paragraph, I also conducted a poll to see which players who left the team would like to see. Most of them voted for Liu Zhiyuan.
Liu Zhiyuan’s voice is very loud
Today, we will write about Liu Zhiyuan. Please see:
beyond Chapter 10: Beyond is the "fifth" Liu Zhiyuan, who frankly regrets leaving the band (on)
when he was 15 years old, the band
knows what Liu Zhiyuan did before? It's also a music player, and it's a band. At that time, the name of the band was called "Ukiyo-e" , but it was the second generation (how to distinguish? The first generation was three people, and the second generation was five people). At that time, Liu Zhiyuan was only 15 years old, and this age is now a minor. So why did the band members call Liu Zhiyuan "Yuanzi"? The main reason is that he is too young. Still a "boy"!
In the middle of 1984, Liu Zhiyuan and the lead singer of "Ukiyo-e" Liang Qiaobai met. Liang Qiaobai invited Liu Zhiyuan to join the "Ukiyo-e", and Liu Zhiyuan agreed.
To know Huang Jiaju before joining
"Ukiyo-e" in the beyond "Waiting forever" concert brochure
Because of the "Ukiyo-e" relationship, Liu Zhiyuan met Jiaju. And, do you remember the "Always Waiting for Concert" held by Beyond at the Caritas Centre, Caine Road, Hong Kong Island in 1985, which I mentioned in the previous article? "Ukiyo-e" also served as a guest performer. They were also printed on the brochure. Therefore, today we can see the honor of "beyond" and "Ukiyo-e" at that time.
How Huang Guanzhong joined the Beyond Band, a successful counterattack from the bench
officially joined the Beyond Band
Then why did Liu Zhiyuan join the Beyond Band? "Ukiyo-e" willing? At that time, in 1985, not long after being a guest performer for the beyond band, "Ukiyoe" signed an agreement with a record company, and at the end of the year released an EP (short record) called "Sorrowful City" ). However, at this time, lead singer Liang Qiaobai wanted to immigrate to the United States, really, not a reason. Therefore, "Ukiyo-e" was dissolved.
And what is beyond now doing? Didn’t they just finish their concert in July? After that, they were busy releasing albums.
Although they had already signed "Chen Jiantian" as their manager at the time, they also promised to help them record as soon as possible. However, at that time, Beyond wanted to release a version of his own album first, and the name was decided: "Goodbye Ideal", which is the one with a little boy on the cover. The dissolution of
"Ukiyo-e" and the production of "Goodbye Ideal" were about the same time. Moreover, "Goodbye Ideal" is their own money, which is the so-called "self-financing". Now that there are managers and they have agreed to record for them, why do they need to record themselves? I guess that they felt a little eager for success at the time, anxious to have an album of their own. Because if it is arranged by the economic company, it may take a long time. The economic company is also happy to watch the effect of this self-financed album after its publication.
In April, the cassette version of "Goodbye Ideal" was released. Why is the cassette version? Wasn't it a pop record back then? The answer is one word: poor.
But the effect is not very good. I only sold 1,000 boxes, but at least it is better than no one bought! In order to cope with the release of this album, the Beyond band held two small concerts called "Analysis Party" at the Fringe Club in Central, and performed all the songs in "Goodbye Ideal" live.
This concert video is retained. Interestingly, we found the figure of "Liu Zhiyuan" inside. In other words, he had already collaborated with Beyond Band at this time, and within one to two months, he was "officially" joining Beyond Band. A photo remake of

Beyond ushered in its "five people" era, which is the first time in beyond history.
Of course, everyone knows what happened later. Liu Zhiyuan, the "fifth", did not persist in the Beyond Band until the end. Later, he left Beyond in 1988 and regrouped with Liang Qiaobai, who returned to Hong Kong, to regroup the third generation "Ukiyo-e". ".
I regret leaving beyond.
In 2017, there was a very popular "Singing Around the Stove" show, and Ye Shirong was invited as a guest. In it, Huang Guanzhong came, and to our surprise, Liu Zhiyuan also came. The host asked him if he ever regretted after he went beyond fire. Almost without thinking, Liu Zhiyuan replied: Yes. And it's pretty big. The frank index is five stars. Ye Shirong quackled with a smile and almost pulled it over.
Yuanzi's later words are also meaningful: I said no, do you believe it?
No matter whether it is there or not, only Yuanzi knows it best. However, we should praise him for his sincerity. This undoubtedly acknowledges the mistakes in decision-making that year. But it must be stated that after Liu Zhiyuan left the beyond band, he did not mix badly, on the contrary, he mixed well. Has produced songs for many big stars, many of them are first-line stars. You know, Liu Zhiyuan's ability to arrange music is very strong.
Alright, let's stop here today. There are many more stories about "Old Five" Liu Zhiyuan, and I can't finish one. So, at the beginning, I planned to divide it into pieces because we still don't have a true understanding of Liu Zhiyuan. I can tell you in advance that Liu Zhiyuan's role in the history of Beyond Band is very important, and I haven't said a bit about his talent! See you in the next issue. Stay tuned.
