Cai Xukun unilaterally announced their withdrawal from the battle for the traffic list, which also means that Ikuns do not admit "failure."
Of course, there is something to be said about this matter.
Ren Xianqi talked about the "flow showdown" in an interview, and the straightforward Ren Tianwang responded, "Jay Chou doesn't need to do data! He will kill you with his works!" Seeing this, would you feel that today's idol singer? Too much public opinion questioning? Was questioned for lack of strength, relying on face to eat, relying on fans to beat the rankings, relying on brokerage company packaging and so on.
In fact, Ren Xianqi himself is an idol singer debut. Back then, when "Heart Too Soft" and "Sad Pacific" were killing the Quartet, he was the most fashionable and top "flow manager" in the entire Chinese music scene.
However, few people seem to accuse Ren Xianqi of his lack of strength. After all, he still wears the "Four Heavenly Kings Terminator" hat on his head. Regardless of his reputation, at least the birth of Ren Xianqi that year has prevented the four Heavenly Kings from dominating the hegemony. The situation in the music scene.
Now that we talk about the four kings, we have to mention the "super idol" and "traffic originator" dawn of the 1990s.
01
Liming participated in the singing audition debut, and then moved to tvb to shoot TV series.
In 1987, the 21-year-old Liming starred in the first TV series "The True Colors of Men".
Three years later, he really became popular because of "People on the Edge", and he was very red, especially red, and Hongxiangjiang. It is not an exaggeration to call him "the originator of traffic."
Dawn, unlike Andy Lau, was born in a TVB class and is known for his hard work. On the contrary, he has been given a big name because his family is not short of money, and he often drives a sports car to the studio.
But these negative factors cannot stop his popularity. In the Hong Kong films of those years, Liming has contributed a seductive image, whether it is Prince Charming or an elite killer. The TV series
is on fire. Liming signed with Polygram under the recommendation of Dai Sicong. His dream is actually to sing. Compared with Jacky Cheung’s experience in the development of music, Andy Lau sang for many years, and Dawn stepped into the music scene. It was just the best time.
The brilliant Tan Zhang Zheng hegemony came to an end with Alan Tam's withdrawal from the music awards ceremony and Leslie Cheung's "total closure of the wheat". The Hong Kong music scene is in desperate need of fresh power to provoke the leader.
First Jacky Cheung and Fang Lu were hailed as the "twin stars" in the singing world, and Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau and Liming were also known as the "Three Musketeers" of Polygram Records.
In 1991, Aaron Kwok returned to Hong Kong to develop in Taiwan, and the title of the four kings came into being.
In fact, the dawn of the career song was once controversial. The reason for being criticized is that his strength is not "worthy" for his appearance.
In 1991, at the East China Flood Relief Party, someone pledged 500,000 yuan on the spot. There was only one condition: Liming returned to Taiwan and sang a song "I'm Sorry, I Love You".
Liming returned, because there was no pre-rehearsal, there was a problem with the accompaniment, and Liming made a mistake.
The media suddenly caught big news and rushed to report Dawn as "the king of voice", and the comments pointed at him "to eat with his face." The overwhelming public opinion of
kept Dawn from being able to walk out of the shadows for a long time. He felt that as long as he stood on the stage, the people in the audience would gloat for misfortune and wait to see if he would go off again.
It was not until 1993 that Liming was the most popular male singer who won the top ten golden song awards. At the
awards ceremony, Leslie Cheung's encouragement also gave him a lot of confidence.
Leslie Cheung was the first predecessor star in the circle to invite him to dinner after Liming debuted in the singing audition that year. Leslie Cheung has always spared no effort to stand for him and told the Hong Kong media: Liming's appearance is the best!
As a non-Hong Kong-born singer, Liming has surrendered best-selling works like "Will You Come Tonight", "Speaking Deeply, I Never Speaked", "I Don't Want You One Day" and other best-selling works, and occupy the highly competitive music market Seats.

Take the 90s data for example, Liming is the "popularity king" doing my part.
on coffee position. At the timeIn large-scale performances, a row of stars stand together and take turns to sing. Liming is mostly the one who sang the finale.
on singing. Although he doesn't have a name such as the god of song, his album sales are number one all year round, and he won the Golden Song Award for four consecutive years.
on acting. Although he was criticized for his mediocre acting skills and low output, Liming was the first to win the actor among the four heavenly kings.
on popularity. In Hong Kong movies of those years, I always like to cue him in the lines. There is also a catchphrase that is "Are you redder than Liming?"
But why do many people comment on Liming and think that "Dawn is the weakest of the four heavenly kings"?
has been the most popular in the past, and now it has been overshadowed by the other three kings. A large part of the blame is due to Liming's initiative to choose "low-key" and "self-degrading status."
After the millennium, he retired from the music scene and shifted his focus to charity and starting a company. No Jacky Cheung’s concert tour is in full swing, nor is it as active as Andy Lau in filming with the actor.
Of course, Liming still made a few movies, mostly to repay the favor, and the scores of the works were all on the street.
Liming has boarded the variety show several times. In the old days, he was cold and melancholy, and he played with young people in an honest manner.
Anyone who knows him knows that "In fact, silly white sweet is Dawn's true character." Others really think that the king is short of money, even the coffee position is ignored.
In fact, he is not bad at all, and his assets are also among the forefront of the four heavenly kings. He just lives casually, no matter how happy he is.
has fans and said that it was not until more than 20 years later that he saw the king who talked in variety shows, and he understood the real dawn. He is not a melancholy prince, but a naughty old boy. It can be seen from
that idols often play the ideal self in the hearts of fans, letting go of the shackles of popularity and living out of themselves.

Now when it comes to idols, there are less inspirational parts and more controversies.
Like when it comes to Cai Xukun, he faces more questions than praise. When Meng Meiqi was a mentor in "Tomorrow's Sons", she was choked to show by2 that she debuted earlier than her.
Some of these voices are actually unfair to newcomers. It is undeniable that they always have to work hard to transform from ordinary people into big stars, to be sought after by fans, and willing to play for them.
just, if young idols are complacent and enjoy temporary popularity, then they can only rely on youth flow to eat. Fans of
Cai Xukun proposed to withdraw from the competition in various data lists and accompany idols to polish their works, which is a good thing.
thought that 20 years ago, facing the competition of the four kings and a series of gossip and public opinion such as lace scandal, Liming had also chosen to focus on his career and music.
But everyone sees that he simply stopped playing with the entertainment industry, and played the leading electronic dance music with Lei Songde. "All Day Love" is the work of this period.
The public is familiar with Liming's affectionate love song, but he is actually very happy in music. This also stems from his maverick personality, unwilling to be arranged by record companies. The idol group of
is still a strong group. When you really get to a certain level and accumulate enough strength, the most important thing is to really try hard, instead of caring about external labels.
Dawn, who is over half a hundred years old, once said in "Tonight's Paramount":
"Nowadays, many young actors are very handsome, their acting skills are average, and their singing is average. In fact, I was the same back then, and now it is also average."
One after another shook their heads, thinking that the king was "self-defeating".
So how do you put it, young idols have to prove themselves, in addition to hard work, maybe the difference is time, or luck?
Liming said again: "The only thing that is not worthwhile for young actors is that they were born out of time. If they were born 20 years earlier, they would already be the "king of heaven" today!"
Li Tianwang, this time you are naughty again!
