In this year's Taiwan, UFO Records followed the successful launch of the Little Tigers and Aaron Kwok, and launched the seventeen-year-old newcomer Lin Zhiying, to attack the shrinking girls' market after the disbandment of the Little Tigers.

has already released two albums, and Meng Tingwei, who has average grades, relied on a song composed by Chen Xiaoxia "Look at the Face of the Moon" to turn over and become a new generation of jade idols, popular all over Taiwan, and also popular on the other side.

The creator went from behind the scenes to the front of the scene, which is a very prosperous atmosphere in this year, this trend began with the success of Zhou Zhiping's "Childhood Sweethearts", and the follow-up introduction sent Li Zongsheng, Lin Longxuan, Xiong Meiling, Gang Zebin, Chen Yaochuan, Xue Zhongming, Huang Dajun, Chen Guanqian, Xiao Worm and other people from all walks of life appeared, but most of the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and the real popularity was like a rare feather.

In Hong Kong, Anita Mui completed her 31 farewell stage concerts in January of that year. In the following February and March, it was Xu Guanjie who made a big start in Hong Kong, and on February 23, TVB held a large-scale live TV special for him to "Glory to Retire the Stars", and from March 18, he opened 41 "Glorious Retirement Concerts" in one go, during which Xu Guanjie was given the title of "God of Song" by Alan Tam. At the same time, record companies have also frequently launched Xu Guanjie's song collections, some of which are sung by Xu himself, and some of which are sung by other singers, and even Warner Records, which has no guest-host relationship with Xu Guanjie, also took the opportunity to launch a collection CD of stars singing Xu Guanjie's songs.

Since Xu Guanjie was named the "God of Songs" by Alan Tam, the titles of the Hong Kong music scene have suddenly increased: first, some people compared the rapidly rising Aaron Kwok with Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau, who began to become the focus of the music scene in 1991, and called the four of them the "Four Heavenly Kings".

Later, there were a bunch of titles, such as Alan Tam is a "singer", Leslie Cheung is a "singer", Lin Zixiang is a "singer", Anita Mui is a "singer", Luo Wen Zhenni is a "singer" and the so-called "********" (Jackie Chan, Ye Qianwen, Lin Yilian), "Three Emperors of Dance" (Du Dewei, Grasshopper, Zhang Liji), "Four Monsters of the Music World" (Luo Dayou, Lu Guanting, etc.)...... Ten or twenty years later, there are very few titles that can be remembered.

On December 31, 1991, Chen Baiqiang, a veteran singer in the Hong Kong music scene, told reporters in the newspaper that he intended to fade out of the music scene, and in 1992, he officially announced that he would bid farewell to the music scene at the end of this year, but at 10 o'clock in the evening on May 1, Chen Baiqiang suddenly fainted and was immediately sent to Queen Mary Hospital for treatment, and from this day on, he fell into a long-term coma for one year and five months until his death on October 25, 1993. Heaven has since had his gentle and affectionate voice.

Also in Hong Kong, in early July of this year, there was a "Chinese style - pop song concert", which was attended by some of the best singers in Chinese mainland such as Mao Amin, Cai Guoqing, Tengger, Na Ying, Xie Xiaodong, etc. It's just that the Hong Kong audience is completely ignorant of these people. In the mainland, their songs are still loved by countless fans.

The large-scale northward movement of Guangzhou pop songs has had a great impact on the mainland pop music market. The names of Yu Ying, Mao Ning, and Li Chunbo quickly became household names.

Also in this year, a book called "World Rock and Roll Grand View" was written and published by Huang Liaoyuan and Han Yifu. The book systematically introduces European and American rock and pop music, and it is said that in the early nineties, when there was a serious lack of information, the number of avid music fans almost reached one volume.

This compilation album brings together various princes who were active in the Chinese rock scene at the time, and the song selection, planning, and production are all first-class, and each song is accompanied by a text introduction about the band or singer.

The selected repertoire includes Zhang Chu's "Sister", "Black Panther" "Don't Go to the Crash", ADO's "I Can't Say It Casually", "Red Army" "Tired", "Eyewitness" Band "Waiting for You Forever", etc., all of which are excellent works of Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland rock music.

Jacky Cheung, who began to be known as one of the "Four Heavenly Kings" last year, went to Taiwan to release his first album "Kiss Goodbye" after three years, with "Kiss Goodbye", "Love Network", "With You All the Way", "Love You More Every Day" and other famous songs, selling more than one million copies, ranking first among the kings, only three songs in this album are created by local musicians, and the rest are adapted from Japanese songs, most of which are Jacky Cheung's previous bestsellers in the Cantonese version.

The series "Bao Qingtian" has been screened in Taiwan for more than 500 episodes, making the opening song "New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream" purple and purple, and it is even red through half the sky. For this reason, Huang An was able to buy a luxury car.

At the same time, Wu Qixian also swept the record market with his old songs and a few extremely sensational songs, and everyone sang the song "Too Stupid". After Zhang Xinzhe was discharged from the army, he became popular with songs with a strong market flavor such as "Love Like a Tide".

The Little Tigers, who began to regroup after completing their military service, released the album "Starlight is Still Brilliant" at the end of the year, Zhou Huajian sang a song "Flower Heart" that was later known to women and children, and Su Rui earned countless tears of warmth and emotion with "Holding Hands".

The Hong Kong music scene is still the world of the Four Heavenly Kings, but the rapid rise of Wang Jingwen (Faye Wong) has given the Four Heavenly Kings a great threat. Her "100,000 Whys" released this year was highly appreciated by music critics, and it was applauded and acclaimed.

At this time, Hong Kong's record companies were struggling with piracy and the mainland's record market at the same time. Due to rampant piracy, there is an absurd scenario where genuine CDs are not on the market, but pirated copies have been launched on the market. Record companies have resorted to various countermeasures to win customers with pirated discs. In November of that year, the mainland tightened cultural controls, prohibiting Hong Kong and Taiwanese singers from holding concerts on the mainland. Although Jacky Cheung's concert in Shanghai has been ticketed, it has also been banned from performing.

Beyond released the album "Joy and Fury" in Hong Kong this year. Huang Jiaju's sentence in this year, "There is no music scene in Hong Kong, only the entertainment industry" expressed his dissatisfaction with the entire Hong Kong music scene, and was immediately criticized and boycotted by his peers. Later, they held "beyond=unplugged concert" in Malaysia, where the four members performed unplugged for 10,000 fans in an air-conditioned venue. The weather was hot and the spotlights were directly illuminated, but Huang Jiaju was very engaged in playing and announced that he would perform in Malaysia again.

It's just that he never had a chance again, Huang Jiaju suffered an accident while recording a TV show in Japan on June 23, fell to the ground with a heavy blow to the head, and died on the 30th after seven days.

Hong Kong artists who also died in the same year include Liang Sihan, Zhou Cong and Chen Baiqiang, in addition, Andy Lau's solo on February 13, a fan fell to his death due to a competition for souvenirs.

In the mainland, 1993 seemed to be a cherished thought, and someone later commented: "This year's Chinese pop music scene is like a finger from heaven, and exciting and shocking voices emerge one after another." In the absence of a hint of foreshadowing, He Yong used "Bell and Drum Tower" to set off the inner awakening of an ancient city like a flame, allowing people to feel the soft heart of the city. Zhang Chu, who is also a rock 'n' roll, used "Sister" to give people an epic spiritual tremor that they have never had before. At the same time, songs such as "How are you, big brother" and "I don't want to say" came out in Guangzhou, an important city in the south, and ......"

Also in this year, an album called "Chinese Big Rock" included songs by bands such as "Breathing", "Black Panther", "1989", "Tang Dynasty", "Dreaming" and "Cobra", which caused the anger of many bands due to copyright issues. In February, the selection of the "Top Ten Rock Bands" led by China Social Daily and others was also boycotted by the rock industry. "Chinese rock scene" is no longer an empty concept.

In 1993, the opening ceremony of the first rock school in Chinese mainland was held, and Cui Jian, He Yong, "Tang Dynasty" and "Black Panther" were invited to attend and speak. Soon, Beijing Music Station started broadcasting the "Rock Magazine" program. The first rock clothing store in Beijing also opened this year;

In 1993, the nominations for the MTV Music Awards were announced, and the Tang Dynasty band was nominated for the best MTV in Asia for "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty".

Singers from Taiwan and Southeast Asia also have a strong edge in Hong Kong, Wu Qixian is almost close to the local Four Heavenly Kings, and Zhou Huajian and Su Huilun have also had a good market response to the release of Cantonese records.

Mainland singers also entered Hong Kong in a big way this year, and Wang Zhenyan (Hongdou), Wang Pei, Sun Nan, etc., who signed contracts to develop in Hong Kong that year.

There are also many people who have released records or songs to Hong Kong through record companies, and the most notable of them are He Yong, Zhang Chu and Dou Wei, who are highly praised by Rolling Stone Magic Rock. They and the Tang Dynasty Band held the "Rock and Roll Chinese Music Power" concert at the Hong Kong Hung Yuan Stadium in this year, which became a classic for many years afterward.

He Yong shouted during the performance: Hong Kong girls, beautiful and beautiful! However, when a reporter asked He Yong what he thought of Hong Kong music, he said: "Hong Kong only has entertainment, no music, and the four kings are clowns except for Jacky Cheung, who is still a singer." If you are not convinced, you can come out and compete. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was in an uproar, and many fans of Liming, Andy Lau, and Aaron Kwok tore up the poster of the performance of Moyan, so that the performer had to paste it again.

When the three heroes of Magic Rock became popular on Hong Kong Island, Luo Dayou returned to Taiwan from Hong Kong and launched his first Taiwanese album "Hometown". The album created a momentum even greater than "Comrade Lover" at the time, but due to the renovation of too many old works, many fans questioned the sincerity of Luo Dayou's creation.

Zhang Yu, who once released a creative album, wrote a strange song: the first six sentences, the main song part is all the same melody. The song is called "Good Intentions".

This year, Hong Kong singer Wang Jingwen made a resounding name in Hong Kong and sang a popular Chinese work "Obsessed Without Regrets", and the most popular is "I Do" written by Yao Qian and composed by Huang Guolun.

Andy Lau, who jumped to UFO and released two albums in a row, finally stabilized his foundation in Taiwan's Chinese music scene with a song "Forget Love Water" under the fresh makeup of his new production partner Chen Yaochuan.

In June 1994, He Yong's album "Garbage Dump", Dou Wei's album "Black Dream", and Zhang Chu's album "Lonely People Are Shameful" were released.

In August, a number of mainland musicians held a Dannon Night – a large-scale awards ceremony for Chinese songs at the Capital Gymnasium. Concepts and titles such as the Spring of New Music, the Year of the Folk Song, the Black Panther, the Tang Dynasty, and the Platter filled this passionate world as soon as they appeared.

Record labels began to pop up, and stars appeared.

Nanjing Wutaishan Stadium "Glory and Dream" large-scale concert, divided into pop music Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai three-legged three-legged. Zhang Chu and He Yong walked on the stage of Beijing Shouti on the night of Dannon.

1994 was also a sentimental year for Chinese college students, and "You at the Table" made people feel the crystal that the dust of society could not hide. The ease of "Lovebirds", the directness of "Smiley Face", the traditional aesthetics of "I Wish You Peace", and the trend of "Ah Lian" and "Xiaofang" all highlight the vivid creativity.

Traditional pop music works still occupy most of the eyes and ears on CCTV, while Cui Jian still launched his third album "Eggs Under the Red Flag", Wang Yong published his first album "Requiem March", "Compass" published "Choose to Be Strong", "Red. Bare. Zheng Jun of "Naked" also used another voice to tell people and the world: rules can be changed...... (To be continued.) )
