Chapter 510: Inventory
"The 1984 Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony officially came to an end, the major awards were awarded, and the Tan Chen competition that lasted for many months also came to an end, and the final result was somewhat unexpected, but it was also reasonable.
Like the previous two award ceremonies, the competition between Alan Tam and Chen Lang has been very anxious since the ceremony, Alan Tam first won the first place with "Love in Late Autumn" and won last night's second top ten golden songs, but Chen Lang's "Red Sun" won the fourth top ten golden songs of the ceremony soon after, and soon caught up with Alan Tam.
Subsequently, Chen Lang's "Glorious Years" won the ninth golden song of the ceremony, but not long after the lead, Alan Tam followed by "The Root of Love" won the tenth golden song.
Among the awards after the top ten golden songs, Alan Tam's golden song "The Root of Love" won the Best Composition Award, but Chen Lang's "I Am a Little Bird" then won the Best Lyrics Award, and they were in hot pursuit, Alan Tam's "The Root of Love" won the Best Arrangement Award again, and Chen Lang's "Glorious Years" also won the Best Song Producer Award, and the two won the four major awards and were equal again.
Later, after the award for the most popular female singer was presented, Ho Shouxin revealed the biggest suspense in the Hong Kong music scene in the past few months, and the result was that Alan Tam defeated Chen Lang and became the second new generation superstar in the Hong Kong music scene.
This result is a bit surprising, after all, Chen Lang's performance on every record since his debut is very amazing, both sales and word-of-mouth have exploded other singers, last year's record "Lang Smoke Rolling" released by Chen Lang has been refreshing the sales records of Hong Kong records in various time categories since the first day of sales, although because of the lack of a mass base in rock music in Hong Kong, and finally failed to break Chen Lang's own single record sales record, but it is still the highest selling single record in Hong Kong last year.
At the same time, the record "Rolling Smoke" has brought mature rock music to the Hong Kong music scene, and brought an alternative richness to the Hong Kong music scene dominated by martial arts songs and love songs.
But Chen Lang, who performed so brilliantly, still lost, losing to Alan Tam, who became popular in Hong Kong with his two records last year, "Fog Love" and "The Root of Love" are both classic pop works, especially the quality of the record "The Root of Love" can be described as the first classic, even compared to Chen Lang's record.
This record can be said to be Alan Tam's best work so far, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for Alan Tam to release another record like this, these two records are very amazing in terms of sales and word of mouth, Alan Tam became the singer with the highest record sales last year with two records, although Chen Lang only released one record, but this is the truth.
From these two records, we were also pleasantly surprised to find that Alan Tam's singing skills have made great progress, especially his unique Lun-style singing voice is infinitely charming, and his affectionate singing style with a little vicissitudes of life allows him to express the emotional tension in love songs to the fullest, and it is easy to capture the hearts of listeners.
Alan Tam's singing skills have made great progress, and he has entered the top of the Hong Kong music scene, coupled with the unique Lun-style love songs, it is not surprising that he can attract the hardcore that can compete with the popular king Chen Lang's fan group, Alan Tam's performance last year can be called phenomenal, and he is the most brilliant and surprising singer last year.
But after Alan Tam was crowned the king, Chen Lang won the final Golden Melody Award, which is also extraordinary, in the eyes of industry insiders, it is not inferior to the Most Popular Male Singer Award, and Chen Lang won this award also proves that the authority affirmed his achievements last year.
It is foreseeable that although Alan Tam defeated Chen Lang this time and was crowned as the new king of the music world, in the face of the most talented and amazing king of popularity, Alan Tam still needs more excellent works to compete with Chen Lang, whose creativity is amazing, and the competition between the two will also become the dominant trend in the music industry in the future, and the future Hong Kong music scene belongs to Tan Chen to compete for hegemony! ”
------ excerpt from the music magazine "New Era" "The Coronation of the New King and Tan Chen's Struggle for Hegemony".
"Last night, the 2nd Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony came to an end, and the fiery awards season came to an end, but its impact is still fermenting, the most high-profile battle for the king, Alan Tam defeated Chen Lang in a thrilling way, but then Chen Lang won the Golden Song to defend his throne, and the competition between the two may have just begun.
In addition to the high-profile battle for the king, the battle between Zhenni and Anita Mui has also won a lot of attention, and the two were also evenly matched in the previous two awards ceremonies, but in last night's competition, Zhenni took advantage of the better quality of the song, and finally successfully won the most popular female singer award.
Among the two singers competing for the diva trophy, Anita Mui is the most outstanding female singer of the new generation, known as the female version of Chen Lang, who became popular all over Xiangjiang as soon as she debuted, not only did the sales of each record exceed five platinum, but also won the affirmation of the award.
Zhen Ni is the top singer of the older generation, and Teresa Teng and Xu Xiaofeng are called the three queens of the Hong Kong music scene, but that was before, now, Teresa Teng went to Japan, and most of the singers of the older generation were very lonely, Zhen Ni also suffered the grief of her husband's death, but she made a strong comeback after a year of retirement, which surprised everyone, and finally won the award with the outstanding performance of "Charming May", and staged a return of the king.
Jenny's award represents that the older generation of singers is still a force to be reckoned with in the Hong Kong music scene, and this award has also benefited LL Records a lot, and the performance of LL Records, which has three kings, is worth looking forward to.
Of course, on the other hand, it also exposes that the new generation of female singers in Hong Kong still lacks enough excellent idols, and compared with the new generation of male singers represented by Chen Lang, Alan Tam, Chen Baiqiang and Leslie Cheung, the quality of female singers is indeed much lower.
In addition to Anita Mui, Lin Zhimei's singing skills and trophies are good, but the sales are not good, and she lacks star temperament, the same is true for Zhang Delan, other female singers who have debuted for a long time have more shortcomings, Ye Qianwen and Chen Huixian, who have performed well this year, have just emerged, and it remains to be seen whether they can maintain this performance for a long time.
However, although Zhen Ni defeated Anita Mui and made her lose twice, Anita Mui's status as the first female singer in the new generation may not be shaken, and it is only a matter of time before she becomes a queen in the music world, Zhen Ni represents the past and present of female singers, and Anita Mui represents the future of Hong Kong female singers, both of whom are extremely outstanding female singers, and after all, they have become the top singers in music history. ”
------Selected from the music magazine "100 Points" of "New and Old Diva"" The second Top Ten Golden Melody Awards ceremony officially ended last night, and the competition between all singers and major record companies has also come to an end temporarily.
Last night's 1984 Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony awarded a total of 10 golden songs, as well as eight awards, for a total of 18 awards.
In the competition for the top ten golden songs, Huaxing Records won a total of four golden songs with Anita Mui's "Leap Stage", Leslie Cheung's "Monica" and Chen Lang's "Red Sun" and "Glorious Years", ranking first steadily, The copyright of "Red Sun" and "Glorious Years" belongs to Chen Lang and Huaxing, but at this time, Chen Lang has left LL Records, and this achievement will undoubtedly be discounted.
followed by LL Records and Polygram Records tied for second place, LL Records won two golden songs with Zhen Ni's "Lonely Again" and "Invincible is Love" sung by Zhen Ni and Xu Guanjie, and Polygram also won two golden song trophies for Alan Tam's "Love in Late Autumn" and "The Root of Love".
The remaining two hits were divided between two record labels, which also tied for third place.
Warner's Ye Qianwen won the affirmation of the golden song with "0:00", and Lin Zhimei of Sony Records also brought a golden song trophy to the company with "Chance Encounter".
The remaining eight record labels have almost become two companies competing for each other.
Among the eight awards, Polygram Alan Tam's golden song "The Root of Love" won the Best Composition Award and the Best Arrangement Award, while Chen Lang won the Best Lyrics Award and the Best Song Producer Award for "Glorious Years" and "I Am a Little Bird".
Later, Alan Tam won the Most Popular Male Singer Award for PolyGram, Jenny ushered in the Most Popular Female Singer Award for LL Records, and Chen Lang also won the Golden Melody Gold Award for LL Records.
The final Golden Melody Honorary Award was won by Xu Xiaofeng of Kang Yi Chengyin.
Among all the eighteen awards, Huaxing Records unexpectedly became the biggest winner with six awards, but Chen Lang's departure was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Huaxing, Polygram Records won five awards alone, followed by the award, LL Records ranked third with four trophies, and the remaining three awards were won by Warner, Xinli and Kangyi Chengyin.
Chen Lang's movements have directly affected the pattern of Hong Kong music record companies, his talent and influence can be called terrifying, and among the major record companies, Polygram Records' dominance seems to be in jeopardy, Huaxing and LL Records' performance is eye-catching, and Warner, which is slightly inferior, is also not to be underestimated.
Polygram, Huaxing, LL and Warner Records have become the four major record companies in the Hong Kong music scene, and the competition between them will surely become the main theme of the Hong Kong music scene. ”
