, from the super king in the first era of the Hong Kong Philharmonic to the "next station queen" in the mainland music scene, were not closely related at first, but one person connected them together. He is the top lyricist in the Chinese pop music scene— — Chen Shaoqi .
In the Hong Kong Philharmonic in the 80s and 90s, in addition to "Er Lin", "Er Pan", and Xiang Xuehuai, Xiaomei , Liang Weiwen, Chen Shaoqi, etc. are the future stars of the hall-level lyrics. Compared with the five predecessors of
and Xiaomei who later transformed into Aaron Kwok and 's agents, Chen Shaoqi and Liang Weiwen, although they are the younger generation of Jianghu, came to the top and became the lyric masters on an equal footing with the five masters. The rare thing about
is that Liang Weiwen and Chen Shaoqi took over the banner left by their predecessors and maintained the Hong Kong Philharmonic to a high level. The number of words written by the two far exceeded their predecessors. So far, there are about 4,000 lyric songs by Liang Weiwen, and more than 3,000 lyric works by Chen Shaoqi. The difference between
and their predecessors who faded out of the music scene at the end of the century is that they went north with music and became a generation of masters who lead the Chinese music scene and in the lyric world.
Today, let's walk into the music kingdom of Chen Shaoqi, a well-known musician who turned from a man from science and engineering to a master of Chinese lyricism, and see what classic chapters he has left for fans.
Chen Shaoqi entered the field of lyric writing in the HK Phil. It was around 1986. At that time, the HK Phil was accustomed to Lin Zhenqiang, Xiang Xuehuai , Pan Weiyuan and their way of writing lyrics. The inherent stubbornness and pride of young people forced Chen Shaoqi to use A different way of filling in lyrics "contradicts" with the predecessors, and also embarked on a colorful independent music path of Chen Shaoqi.
"Brother Sam ( Xu Guanjie ) wrote grassroots songs superbly, Zheng Guojiang teacher's lyrics are beautiful, Mr. Lin Zhenqiang is good at writing very deep love songs, Lu Guozhan teacher "The earth is under my feet" (1986 TV series The theme song of "Qin Shi Huang" wrote the emperor's domineering incisively and vividly. But I have always had the idea that artistic creation should make something different. Therefore, the influence of my predecessors on me was "negative", and I avoided them. It’s really hard to find a way in the masters of Yunyun, but now it seems that I have done it.”
Chen Shaoqi became famous in Hong Kong Philharmonic in 1987, at that time He wrote the lyrics for Alan Tam's song " Confidant as a Doll " and was shortlisted for the top ten golden songs and 's top ten Chinese golden songs .
If , Wang Jie and are the representative of the singer's debut, then Chen Shaoqi is the representative of the Hong Kong Philharmonic's lyric world. Lyrics Award.
"Calculate little by little, but the difference is too far; going round and round, it turns into a dusty relationship. There is a lot of harassment and marriage, and the spring night loves to change the hexagram. Among them, the most beautiful lyrics used by folded words , the lyrics have a very classical charm, and they are still advanced now.
Chen Shaoqi's classic cooperation with a certain faction is far more than that. Lyrics such as "Forbidden Color" and "Angel on the Road" are all worthy of appreciation.
did not expect that Liang Weiwen would never forget to become his "mole in the palm", and his best work in the HK Phil was brought by Chen Shaoqi, who rivaled Liang Weiwen in the 1990s.
In 1988, Chen Shaoqi, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui's songs "Body" and "Stand by me" were both shortlisted for the top ten golden songs of the year, and their lyric level was more affirmed. This is a 22-year-old boy. Great encouragement.
In the fourth year of stepping into the music world, Chen Shaoqi ushered in the most glorious moment in the 1980s.
1989 is a year that Hong Kong Phil does not want to remember. It lost three superstars in the music world. Chen Huixian and will go to study in the United States after singing this year. Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui will "retire" after singing this year. second-line."
This is the year in which the "Battle of Thousand Nights" took place. The "Battle of Thousand Nights" was a battle between Chen Huixian and Anita Mui, the old and new queen, but it was a battle between old and new forces in the field of lyrics.
"Qiangbo" Lin Zhenqiang wrote for Chen Huixian the best song "Thousands of Que Songs" to express the atmosphere of parting. 24-year-old Chen Shaoqi wrote a song "Song of the Sunset", which is not his age and can see all kinds of emotions in life. ". As a result of
, "Song of Thousand Thousand Que" won the hearts of the people, "Song of the Sunset" won the honor, and Chen Shaoqi filled out his first golden song gold award song.
"I have encountered many winds and rains, weaving my interlaced dreams; I have encountered your sincere arms, and accompanied me through adversity. The center of running around is dull, the road is full of twists and turns, and one day I want to go back, but it is too late. "
In 2003, when Anita Mui passed away more than a month after singing this song, she tasted this song again, and she burst into tears. Chen Shaoqi's works 14 years ago turned out to be a portrayal of Sister Mei's life.
Although Chen Shaoqi caused the "Thousands of Nights Controversy", he also left a classic when he wrote songs for Chen Huixian.
In 1989, after knowing that Chen Huixian was going to study in the United States, Chen Shaoqi put the idea of writing lyrics on the flight that "Princess" was about to take. He wrote the song " night machine " for Princess Xian using Lin Zhenqiang's lyrics method.
"Leaving the drizzle of stars, don't panic in the early morning. Go to a distant place, willing to forget a certain hope."
In 1992, when Polygold recorded an album for Chen Huixian during her studies, Chen Shaoqi was not stingy With his own talent, he filled out "The Moon" for Princess Xian.
's sentence "May my life be bright and beautiful, and my footprints be like wind and frost" is enough to make fans never forget this song.
was also in 1989. Chen Shaoqi, who used "wind" as the medium, took a piece of "When the Wind Rises" as a farewell gift for "Brother" Leslie Cheung and gave it to the music scene and fans.
He said: Since Leslie Cheung released his famous song " The Wind Continues to Blow ", then I wrote a song called "When the Wind Rises Again", when the wind rises again, fans can think of "brother".
"Silently, this heart no longer cares about Mercedes-Benz, even if I want to go home with tears, I am willing to look for the poem in my heart in the precious years. When the wind rises again, in the silent night, I think of your support for me, and then I hear the cheers. I'm crying and thanking me, even though I have said goodbye, there is still a hint of warmth."
When the wind rises again, when the wind in Xiangjiang continues to blow, although "Brother" is no longer in this world, he will always be in the hearts of fans. The night was quiet, and whoever resonated, Leslie Cheung never left, he just let us not find it in front of us. Among the
Hong Kong Philharmonic singers, the singer Chen Shaoqi wrote the most lyrics is Jacky Cheung . According to statistics, he wrote a full 109 songs for Jacky Cheung.
In addition to the golden songs and gold award songs written for Jacky Cheung " Break Up Always In Rainy Days " and " After Leaves", " I will wait until the flowers thank you " (Cantonese version), " Red Leaf Dance Autumn Mountain " , "This Winter is No Longer Cold", " Originally As Long As You Live For One Day ", "Someone" and other representative works of alumni, Chen Shaoqi undertakes the lyrics work.
Just as Liang Weiwen prefers Faye Wong , Huang Weiwen prefers Miriam Yang , Chen Shaoqi's favorite female singer is none other than Gigi Leung .
When Gigi Leung was 23 years old, Chen Shaoqi wrote "My Favorite" for her, making "Wen Qing" her label; when Gigi Leung was 25 years old, Chen Shaoqi wrote "25" for her; when Gigi Leung encountered emotional problems, Chen Shaoqi gave her "Wen Qing" My Love Song".
"Kiss me", "Disgusting", "Good Times", "Missing", "Affordable" (Cantonese version). . . Chen Shaoqi made no secret of his appreciation for Gigi Leung.
Chen Shaoqi's most glorious year in the HK Phil was 2001.In 2008, he alone had three songs that were shortlisted for the top ten Golden Melody Awards of the year at the same time, namely "Summer Friesta" by Andy Lau , "Bala Bara Sakura Flower" by Aaron Kwok and "Flying Flowers" by Li Keqin . In addition to
, Chen Shaoqi's masterpieces of the Hong Kong Philharmonic include Faye Wong's " Obsessed with No Regrets ", Wang Jie's "Not Romantic Charges", Li Huimin 's "When a Man Falls in Love with a Woman" and "Yokohama Don't Love" , Tang Baoru 's "The Sky of Fate", Faye Wong's "Obsessive Obsession", Chen Jieyi 's "Revelation", etc.
In 2005, Chen Shaoqi went to the mainland for development. He gave three reasons for this: first, the departure of a group of superstar friends such as Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui made him afraid of seeing things and thinking about people; second, seeing the mainland music scene from "Super Girl" "After that, he began to rise; the third is his so-called "greed", he hopes that he is not only a master of lyrics of the Hong Kong Philharmonic, but also a name that can be remembered by the mainland music scene.
After 17 years, Chen Shaoqi is already the one with the best development in the Mainland among Hong Kong musicians. In 2007, the official media of , the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to , asked him to write the theme song " Always have you "; 2008 Beijing Olympic Games , he is the producer of the theme song " Beijing welcomes you "; in the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, he is the lyricist and producer of the theme song "Smile Shanghai"; in 2021, he is the CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala "Bay Area Rising Bright Moon" Planner; In 2022, Chen Shaoqi wrote the theme songs "Before" and "We Will Be Better" for the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return.
can say that after leaving Hong Kong, Chen Shaoqi also left a deep impression on the mainland music scene.
And in the mainland music scene, Chen Shaoqi's cooperation with Zhang Liangying can be said to have made her a leader in the women's camp in the mainland music scene in recent years. People collided and sparked a lot, and the song "Painting Heart" written by Chen Shaoqi for Jane Zhang can be said to be her most famous masterpiece.
"Looking at you holding me, eyes like the moonlight and loneliness, makes you happy in someone else's arms. Loving you is like a heartbeat, hard to touch, drawing you can't draw your skeleton, remembering your face is that I am waiting for you Perseverance, you are a song I can't finish singing."
Chen Shaoqi filled in, not only Zhang Liangying's representative works, but also the representative works of the mainland music scene.
Chen Shaoqi now seems to have completely adapted to life in the mainland. His mandarin and are becoming more and more fluent. He abandons traditional characters and uses mainland simplified Chinese to interact with fans on social platforms.
However, when fans asked him what he thought of "The Hong Kong Philharmonic is Dead", he said calmly: The reason why Hong Kong pop music was so brilliant in the 1980s and 1990s was because we started early, so it could radiate to the whole country, Superstars such as Leslie Cheung are even popular in Japan and South Korea. An objective analysis shows that Hong Kong’s popular culture has received disproportionate attention. At that time, Hong Kong only had a population of 5 million, but almost all of China and East Asia were listening to Cantonese, a language that can only be understood by reading subtitles. Later, with the gradual development of the music scene in various places, there is no need for everyone to only listen to Hong Kong pop songs. So it's not that the HK Phil is dying, but that the spotlight has shifted to other places after the millennium.
I think Hong Kong never left the stage, it's just that for a long time we became dancing in the dark where no one else could see. Although
chose to "escape", please don't ignore the name "Chen Shaoqi" when recalling the peak Hong Kong Philharmonic. May I work hard in exchange for one of your attention and likes!
