Chatting with the Wenner band, you don't have to worry about any words falling on the floor. When a question is thrown out, there will always be someone who will answer it, and many jokes will be generated, making fun of each other and making the people on the side laugh from ear to ear.
gathering the "Five Tigers" can exchange for happiness. This is the reporter's most intuitive feeling after a conversation. I think it is also the reason why they still enjoy staying with the members to this day.
"I can hear you say goodbye even when I say goodbye" - "Today Next Year"
2023 is the 50th year since the establishment of the Winner Band. The five members Alan Tam, Chung Chen Tao, Peng Jianxin, Ye Zhiqiang and Chen You are all in their seventies. They chose this time to start a farewell tour called "farewell with love" to officially meet their fans. Say goodbye.
The Shanghai stop of the farewell tour will be held at Mercedes-Benz on January 27, 2024.
In fact, this idea came up as early as eight or nine years ago, but Alan Tam disagreed a little at the time. The Wenner Band has been established for nearly half a century. It is no longer just five young guys singing and dancing on the stage. It represents deep friendship and unyielding persistence. How can we say goodbye so easily.
But as members gradually reach the age of 70+, many practical issues have to be considered. Alan Tam changed his mind: "We hope to perform for everyone one last time while the five of us still have hair, teeth, can sing, and can move around."
Chen You used the analogy of a birthday party: "We will do it when friends are here. Hurry up and cut the cake and take photos, lest you drink too much and be unable to take photos later."
Every concert started for three hours, and they didn't show any embarrassment. Zhong Zhentao even felt that it was not enough. They are well aware that they cannot compare with young people, but with their current age and body, it is not a big problem to move appropriately on the stage.
In 2022, the Winner Band (due to the epidemic, Cao Rongzhen performed instead of Ye Zhiqiang, and the stage was actually the "Winner Four") participated in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. The familiar melody of "Friends" sounded, triggering the memories of countless audiences. . Chen You's wife saw the report in Hong Kong and repeatedly lamented: "Wen Na and the five tigers appeared together and carried their luggage by themselves without anyone's support. I am very grateful."
Alan Tam also laughed at himself. The five of them together are almost 400 years old. How can they be happy? I am content to say goodbye to everyone. "We are not asked to do somersaults on the stage. Different age groups have different presentations on the stage. I think the current state is very reliable. I hope we can share our achievements over the years with the fans, and thank them for their support. " Zhong Zhentao added.
"Getting along is still as fun as before" - "Five Black-Haired Boys"
In order to prepare for the farewell tour, the Wenner Band began to prepare the songs for the new album four or five years ago. Alan Tam and Zhong Zhentao wrote the most, and the rest All the members personally participated in the creation. They were very satisfied with the song "Five Black-Haired Boys" and felt that the lyrics of the lyrics vividly expressed the brotherhood they had grown together over the years. Alan Tam and Zhong Zhentao in the group
later developed very well. They were often asked, "Why do you still like to stay in the Wenner band even if they are successful solo?" The core of the answer they always gave was only two words: "Happiness" ” and “comfortable.”
Just like this time at the interview site, they have already divided their responsibilities when facing questions:
Alan Tam and Zhong Zhentao are usually the most active. After taking the question, Alan Tam will act as MC's cue member to answer the question. Seeing that Ye Zhiqiang is the least talkative, he will directly arrange for him to do the ending: "Just tell me, right or wrong?" Then "Aqiang" will answer in a low voice: "Yes. "
Facing the camera lens, Zhong Zhentao introduced Peng Jianxin as "the person responsible for appearance".

Chen You is the drummer in the band. Alan Tam proudly praised his brother: "In so many years in the Hong Kong music scene, I have seen In many bands, he must be among the top 3 to 5 most powerful drummers!"
When five people work together, the pressure will be evenly distributed. If you can't think of an answer, there will always be someone who can help, or even talk nonsense together. At the concert, sometimes the musicians can also be an audience on the stage to watch the members "sing the high octave with all their strength". As long as you are with your brothers, you can always feel at ease.
"The best at joking choruses" - "Brothers"
met at Weishi, and have experienced highs and lows together. Looking back on those days, the "Winner Five" have a lot of stories to share. "What today's idol groups and young freshmen have experienced, we all experienced back then."
In 1993, the Winner Band came to Shanghai for the first time to hold a concert, and it was extremely popular. The hotel where the members stay is right across from the concert venue, and every night thousands of fans gather downstairs to sing their songs.
once performed at the National Theater in Singapore. Many fans climbed over the theater wall directly because they did not have tickets. Later, too many people climbed over the wall and the wall collapsed.
's most famous scene is the story of Chen You's heel being torn off by a fan when he was participating in an event in Kaohsiung.
The Wenner Five were interviewed by the Morning Post (from left to right: Yip Chi-keung, Chen You, Zhong Zhentao, Alan Tam, Peng Jianxin)
"Back then, we all wore platform shoes, and the height of the soles of each person was different. Five people standing together can guarantee the normal High. That time we were going to do an event on a rooftop terrace. As soon as we got off the bus, many fans gathered around us, some pulling their clothes and some pulling their hair. Chen You was the slowest runner. We all went upstairs and he was still down there. From the first floor to the fourth floor, I was pulled by a fan's heel. Finally, when I reached the rooftop, my heel was completely broken and I could only walk with a limp."
Alan Tam told the story with great emotion and everyone laughed. As a group, the grand occasion of that year can be seen.
"Don't care about the ranking" - "If you like it, you like it"
has been active as a band for 50 years. Even if everyone develops differently later, they will still agree to reunite every five years for a concert, so that "solidarity" "The combination is rare in the entertainment industry. The secret of the band’s longevity is also the question they answer the most in recent years.
In Chen You’s view, “don’t disband” is the most critical thing. "Of course it's very difficult. After all, everyone has their own ideas, but we all seek common ground while reserving differences, and that's pretty much it. We've known each other since we were 12 or 13 years old, and we know each other so well that we don't care about each other, and we're gone together in the blink of an eye. 50 Years."
In a collective of five people, conflicts must be inevitable. But the Wenner band has an unwritten agreement: whoever is impulsive today will be treated to a meal. "And neither of us will push ahead just because of the other party's concessions. We will always reflect on ourselves and then take the overall situation into consideration." Zhong Zhentao said that even if we have to say goodbye to everyone at the concert, we will still have dinner together and continue to see each other in life. .
Wenner Band has a song called "Wenner Spirit", which they have repeatedly passed on to their fans and younger generations: "This is an indomitable and united spirit. I hope it can infect more artists or bands of the younger generation, and let They don't want to take the wrong path." Half a century after
debuted, Wenner's fans spanned several generations. At concerts, you can often see two or three generations of a family together. Back then, fans were just holding signs and waving their hands, but now rows of LED signs have been lit up in the audience, and the fluorescent sticks have also changed colors. There is a lot more "sense of technology", and people can't help but feel the power of time.
And this time the official announcement of the farewell tour made many fans feel reluctant to leave. In the future, where should we go to meet the "Winner Five" again?
Chen You was the first to express his opinion: They all love to eat, and I also love to cook. I can invite everyone to my house for dinner from time to time, and then put the process online, and then sing, dance, and do exercises."As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Zhentao couldn't sit still. "How dare you talk about cooking in front of me? I am the God of Cooking on Huanghe Road. "
took the members to visit the Yellow River Road after guest appearance in "Flowers"
In the just-finished hit "Flowers", Zhong Zhentao played a Hong Kong chef who came to the rescue to the real garden. So before the Shanghai concert started, "Wen "Take the Five Tigers" first went to Huanghe Road for a citywalk, checked in the place where Zhong Zhentao "works" in the play, and also tasted Shanghai soup dumplings.
Director Wong Kar-wai's "Excellence" is well-known in the industry, so people can't help but wonder, Zhong Zhentao plays Chef ng How many times?
Initially, the director allowed him to freely express himself and perform several scenes in his own way. "The director seemed to be very satisfied all the time. I thought it was over and I could shoot another scene. "As a result, after a while, the director changed his mind. "Let me appear on stage just like greeting fans at a concert. "
Originally Zhong Zhentao was still wondering, could a chef still be like this? Then I thought about it. This character was originally the one who came out after being called upon for a long time and saved the real garden from fire and water. He was very popular and was very popular at the concert. There was not much difference. He waved his hand and acted like a chef: "Speed! speed! "The atmosphere is full of atmosphere.
