[3 songs at the same time shortlisted for the best original song at the Hong Kong Film Awards, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is unprecedented]
In 1988, at the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards, Chow Yun-fat was re-elected as the actor, "Autumn Fairy Tale" won 3 awards and became a big winner . This night, another movie became a dark horse and won 3 awards, which is the costume love ghost film "A Chinese Ghost Story" produced by Tsui Hark.
"A Chinese Ghost Story" won three awards at the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards: Best Art Director, Best Film Music and Best Film Song Awards. [Of course, the classics of "A Chinese Ghost Story" are far from being represented by these awards. 】
"A Chinese Ghost Story" is played by Leslie Cheung, and he also sings the theme song "A Chinese Ghost Story". However, this golden song that has been sung to the streets did not win the prize. The winner was another song in "A Chinese Ghost Story" , "Don't Come Dawn" by Ye Qianwen.
What's more exciting is that in "A Chinese Ghost Story", there are a total of three songs shortlisted for the best film song awards this year, namely "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Do Not Come Dawn" and "The Way". Throughout the history of the Hong Kong Film Awards, the same film has 3 golden songs shortlisted for this award at the same time, and the final winner is only this one.
The story of "A Chinese Ghost Story" comes from a piece of "Nie Xiaoqian" in Pu Songling's classic classic "Strange Stories from a Lonely Studio". In 1960, Shaw's famous director Li Hanxiang directed the movie of the same name. Xu Hart produced this film directed by Cheng Xiaodong. Remake the works of the predecessors.
Hong Kong talented Huang Zhan is the number one big fan of Yao Min, the soundtrack of Li Hanxiang's "Lover's Ghost", and loves Li Hanxiang's movies. When I heard that Tsui Hark was going to remake Li Hanxiang's "A Chinese Ghost Story", Mr. Huang Zhan took the initiative to contact Tsui Hark and asked to do the soundtrack for the movie and write the theme song.
It's a pity that Huang Zhan is a step late, and Tsui Hark has already asked someone to write it; Huang Zhan still doesn't give up, saying that he will write a song for the movie by posting money. Tsui Hark disagreed at first, after all, the original music score was also a master.
Fortunately, Tsui Hark is a picky person, and the one who made the soundtrack is not satisfied with the song he wrote, so Huang Zhan has a chance. As one of the four great old men in Hong Kong, Mr. Huang Zhan's talent and ability are first-class, coupled with his active request to participate in the enthusiasm, making the creation of the theme song of "A Chinese Ghost Story" quite smooth.

In this way, "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Don't Come at Dawn" and "Tao" have three different styles and different artistic conceptions. All three songs were composed by Mr. Huang Zhan, composed by Mr. Huang Zhan, and were sung by Leslie Cheung, Ye Qianwen, and Huang Zhan himself. As a result, the three capitals are very beautiful and very classic.
"A Chinese Ghost Story" as the theme song , the melody also runs through the whole film, and even the entire series of trilogy, is the most important one. The melody of this song is melodious and elegant, the poem is remote and simple, and it is in perfect harmony with the fate of Ning Caichen and Xiaoqian in the movie. It fits perfectly into the plot of the movie.
"Don't Come Dawn" was originally not written for "A Chinese Ghost Story" , but the artistic conception of the lyrics exactly matches the plot in the movie. Because Xiaoqian is a female ghost, afraid of the sun, and loves her deeply, Ning Caichen doesn't want her to leave, so she would rather stay in the dark than dawn, so that her dreams can stay at night more. This song also became Ye Qianwen's famous song.
[In 1988, Tsui Hark started shooting the martial arts movie "The Swordsman", and Ren Yingying first looked for Ye Qianwen. 】
"Tao" is sung by Mr. Huang Zhan himself. is a bit of Hong Kong rap. The lyrics are crazy and happy, and they are very compatible with Huang Zhan's happy personality. In the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", Wu Ma plays the magical Taoist Yan Chixia, who is also an innocent old child. This song is simply tailored for him.

The 80s are the most glorious era of Hong Kong entertainment industry ,There are countless classic movies and countless classic songs. Leslie Cheung has the acting skills of a movie king, and he is also a singer of the heavenly king level.
