……

After last night's Commercial Radio Chinese Song Awards ceremony, as one of the grand ceremonies of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, major media and newspapers have paid great attention.

Chen Lang went home alone with five trophies last night, naturally he was very happy, and after getting up the next morning, he picked up the newspaper again and wanted to see the comments of the media, in fact, he wanted to see how the media praised him.

The result is also clear at a glance, as the biggest winner last night, every newspaper report is inseparable from him, the brightest star of last night.

Chen Lang was also smiling when he saw it, but in the end he picked up "Ming Pao", the entertainment attribute of other newspapers is too high, or "Ming Pao" can have some dry goods.

As the most popular newspaper among the middle class in Hong Kong, Ming Pao has always been neutral and rigorous because of Jin Yong's relationship, and there are few reports that exaggerate facts in order to attract attention, so Ming Pao has an authoritative attribute in the hearts of Hong Kong citizens.

However, although "Ming Pao" does not attract attention with entertainment, it will naturally not refuse the news that readers love.

Today's headline of the entertainment section of "Ming Pao" "The Replacement of the Old and the New" is naturally inseparable from last night's award ceremony, but it is different from other media newspapers that only focus on celebrities winning awards.

"Last night, one of the grand ceremonies of the Hong Kong music scene, the Commercial Radio Chinese Song Competition Award Ceremony came to a successful conclusion, and the top ten golden songs and the top 20 records were spent, and some people were happy and some were worried.

The biggest winner of last night's awards ceremony was undoubtedly Chen Lang, who won five trophies, three golden songs, and two top 20 records, making Chen Lang the brightest star last night.

In addition, the new generation of singers Chen Baiqiang, Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, and Alan Tam also got a TOP20 record and a golden song respectively.

Zhang Delan, Cai Fenghua, Bao Cuiwei and Mai Jiewen, who are also members of the new generation of singers, did not win the golden song, but the record was also awarded at the ceremony.

Among the older generation of singers, Teresa Teng, Zhen Ni and Lin Zixiang won a golden song and a top 20 record respectively, and their performances were also excellent.

However, before the awards ceremony, he was always favored by the media, and Chen Lang became a superstar, and his biggest competitor Xu Guanjie only won a record award, but did not win a golden song, which is a little disappointing.

However, it is understandable, because the audience of commercial radio stations is mostly young people, and the new generation of singers is naturally more favored.

For Chen Lang, it is like the home field, and for Sam, it is inevitable that it is a little unfair, and only when it comes to the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Award Ceremony and the Top Ten Golden Melody Award Ceremony can it be regarded as a decisive victory.

Looking at last night's awards ceremony, we can see a very obvious tendency, the advantages of the older generation of singers are no longer there, but the new generation is full of sharpness.

Among the top 20 records, Xu Xiaofeng, Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Mingquan, Luo Wen, Zhen Ni, Cai Zhentang, Xu Guanjie, Teresa Teng, Lin Zixiang and Ye Dexian won a total of ten, and the remaining ten belong to the new generation of singers.

The top 20 records won by the two generations of singers are evenly divided, and in the past, the older generation of singers were able to get at least fifteen of them, but now they can only be tied.

Among the top ten golden songs, Anita Mui, Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung and Chen Baiqiang each won one golden song, plus Chen Lang won three songs, and the new generation of singers won a total of seven golden songs, accounting for seven out of ten.

The older generation of singers is Teresa Teng, Xu Xiaofeng and Lin Zixiang each won a golden song, with only three golden songs in total, and the ratio of the new generation to the older generation is 7:3, and the new generation can be said to have an overwhelming advantage.

Of course, some of the above data are only the reactions of this year's awards, and the audience of commercial radio stations makes these data unable to fully reflect the specific situation of the music industry.

But judging from the past years, the rise of the new generation has become faster and stronger, especially Chen Lang's performance can be called terrifying, but as the strongest newcomer in Hong Kong's history, perhaps we should exclude Chen Lang.

As the first idol singer in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong album chart has won six consecutive championships, and both records have won five platinum sales, which shows its strength.

Then there are Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung, two singers who have been in the music industry for a long time, and the records released last year also made everyone's eyes shine, and their sales also had five platinums.

and Cai Fenghua and Zhang Delan are also very popular and have good sales, while Bao Cuiwei and Mai Jiewen have also begun to emerge, and the new generation is rising at an astonishing speed because of the popularity of young people and their own good strength.

And the performance of the older generation of singers in the whole year last year can only be regarded as average.

In addition to Teresa Teng, Zhen Ni and Lin Zixiang's sales and quality are also guaranteed above the standard, although Xu Guanjie and Luo Wen's records can still sell platinum sales, the quality of the songs has no surprises in the past.

Teresa Teng is ready to go to Japan for development, Jenny temporarily said goodbye to the music scene because of the death of her husband, the influence of the older generation of singers among young people is gradually declining, and their achievements and honors are also declining.

The qualifications and strength of the older generation of singers cannot be ignored, but their popularity has declined due to the growth of a new generation of young people, but they can still occupy a place in the Hong Kong music scene.

On the contrary, in the current Hong Kong music scene, the popularity of the new generation far exceeds that of the older generation, and the songs are also very eye-catching, and the sales are also very amazing.

From this point of view, the older generation of singers can still occupy half of the music scene, but they can no longer stop the rise of the new generation of singers, and the replacement of the old and new in the Hong Kong music scene has come to a critical point, perhaps January 28 is the dividing line. ”

Chen Lang nodded after reading the report, 1984 in his previous life was the year when Alan Tam came to the Hong Kong music scene, which opened the prelude to the new generation of singers dominating the music scene.

In the following two years, Alan Tam swept the Hong Kong music scene in both awards and sales, and it was not until 1986 that Leslie Cheung, who had been gaining momentum for a long time, really had the strength and appeal to challenge Alan Tam, and officially opened the period of Tam and Cheung's hegemony.

Of course, there is Chen Baiqiang on the side, and basically these three male singers have won the gold, silver and bronze awards for the most popular male singer and the best male singer at all the award ceremonies.

In terms of female singers, Anita Mui also went through two years of precipitation, and finally soared to the sky with "Bad Girl" and became the first sister of the music diva.

Together with Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung and Chen Baiqiang, they formed the "Tan Zhang Mei Chen" that will never fade in the memories of countless people, and these four people became the four representative singers of the golden age of the Hong Kong music scene, dominated the Hong Kong music scene in the mid-to-late 80s, and influenced countless singers and fans.

Of course, in terms of female singers, in addition to Anita Mui, there are Ye Qianwen, Chen Huixian, Lin Yilian, Kwong Meiyun and Liu Meijun, known as the five golden flowers.

Ye Qianwen's sweet and innocent feelings, Chen Huixian's youthful loveliness, Lin Yilian's passionate and unrestrained, Kwong Meiyun's resentful tenderness, and Liu Meijun's vicissitudes of life and dust, the five female generals form the most energetic, colorful and colorful multi-part chorus in the Hong Kong music scene.

The record sales of the five not only greatly exceeded Xu Xiaofeng, but also forced Anita Mui out of breath, and some of them even overwhelmed Anita Mui.

After 1984, the new generation of singers did begin to take charge of the music scene, although the sales and strength of the older generation of singers are still there, but the metabolism of the music scene cannot be stopped.

Chen Lang agrees with the report of "Ming Pao", of course, this is not the first time this point of view has appeared, as early as two years ago because of the competition between Chen Lang and Xu Guanjie, this argument has appeared, but the media hype at that time was stronger, and not many people agreed.

However, after two years of development, more and more new generation singers have emerged, and the Hong Kong music scene has indeed reached a period of alternation between the old and the new.

After the report of "Ming Pao" came out, the major media also launched another discussion about the replacement of the old and the new in the music scene, and the media was once again divided into two factions.

One faction naturally believes that the older generation of singers is still the pillar of the Hong Kong music scene, and the new generation can only be regarded as famous, and it is not a fatal threat to the older generation of singers.

The other school of thought naturally believes that the new generation led by Gemini has begun to surpass the older generation of singers, and has already occupied half of the country, although the strength of the older generation is there, but it cannot stop the fact that popularity is declining.

Because of the different points of view of the two sides, there was a burst of hype, while the side of the quotation, while the classic discussion, the new generation and the old generation were compared back and forth countless times, attracting the attention of countless fans, but also won the attention of the citizens, the newspaper did sell a lot.

At the same time, major media and newspapers also interviewed the singers, and the results obtained were useless.

The older generation said that the current young people are getting more and more powerful, and the Hong Kong music scene already belongs to young people, while the new generation of singers have expressed their respect and admiration for the older generation of singers, saying that the current Hong Kong music scene still belongs to the older generation of singers, which makes the major newspapers quite speechless.

In the end, neither side could convince anyone, but a consensus was reached.

The next two award ceremonies are the best opportunity to prove it, especially the Most Popular Male and Female Singer Award at the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony.

This award is no longer just an award, it may even be the beginning of a new era in the Hong Kong music scene.

Because of this controversy, everyone is looking forward to the next two award ceremonies.
