There were two legendary bands in Hong Kong in the 60s and 70s, and the others, such as the Thunderbirds, were not as good as them.

A lotus band that is famous all over the world and is still active in front of people decades later, this is also Xu Guanjie's representative band.

Lotus is one of the most famous English-language pop bands in Hong Kong in the 60s, formed in 1966 and formerly known as Bar·Six. In 1967, at Diamond Records, the predecessor of Polygram, he published 2 discs.

The Lotus Band is powerful enough, right? But in front of another band, there is really nothing to say in this era of winning the disease. The band was also overshadowed by the Lotus, whose glory would not begin to rise to fame until the mid-seventies, when Playboy disbanded.

Playboy, a somewhat flirtatious name. Indeed, in the 60s, until now, the year of rebirth, they are the most brilliant, professional and famous diamond-level band in the entire Hong Kong music scene, and they are all famous in Taiwan!

In Hong Kong today, as long as you are a Hong Kong person who likes to listen to songs or sing, if someone asks about this band and says that they have never heard of them, people will definitely think that you are a fake Hong Kong person. And if someone comes to Hong Kong for at least a month, if someone mentions this band, you say you don't know, you are embarrassed to say that you have been to Hong Kong.

As a native of Hong Kong, Ying Yi has long been familiar with this legendary band. He can even tell them all the truth.

, and, playboys – Teddy Robin and Playboys.

Members: Teddy Robin as the lead vocals, formerly known as Kwan Weipeng, a Hong Kong legend.

The second, Zheng Donghan served as the guitarist, Norman G, who was also Zheng Zhongji's father.

The third, Kwan Weilin is also a guitarist, William-Kwan, the younger brother of Teddy Robin, a senior executive of Polygram Records and the royal executive producer of Aaron, and the father of Kwan Chuyao.

Frederick, drummer, Frederick-, later worked as an art director for films.

Kwan Wei, bass d-kwan, the younger brother of Teddy Robin, was the senior vice president of Asia Television.

With the exception of Frederick and Frederick-, all other members are well-known figures in Hong Kong or should be preceded by the word legend.

Teddy Robin, formerly known as Guan Weipeng. Friends who like pop music know that at the end of the 80s, the Daming faction, D, and Tai Chi Band set off the ** band formed in Hong Kong, but when it comes to the first person in the Hong Kong band, it is none other than Teddy Robin, the chief band in Hong Kong in the 60s was formed and sung by him as the lead singer.

After visiting Hong Kong in 1964, the Beatles were deeply influenced by their music, and together with his brother David and Kwan Wai and two friends, he formed Raiders, and later with his brother William, the legendary Kwan Wai Lun, and singers to form The.Striplings.

A few years ago, because their clothes and hairstyles were very fashionable, just like the "flying boys" of the year, Robin added Teddy in front of his name and became. At the same time, there was another team of IKS, including drummer Staeddy and his brother David-Kwan, plus bassist David. Since there were two Davids in the team, David-Kwan changed his name to D, and later changed his name to The-Playboys when he participated in the "Amateur Singing Competition" organized by Sing Tao Daily and Lai Sing.

In the same competition, Teddy-Robiriplings played him, but also sang for The-Playboys, whose song was Elvis' version of What'd-I-Say. Later the-playboys also participated in -time, which resulted in 3rd place.

As for &the.playboys, it is made up of Teddy, Williams, and D joining Jung Donghan and Frederick. They were even more bold and sent a letter to the radio station Le-Ray as a self-recommendation, although the other party did not express it, but gave him the opportunity to serve as an accompanist in his fan., but later uncle-ray also became their manager, and in 1965 they arranged for them to sign with Diamond Records, becoming the company's first all-Chinese orchestra.

Due to their early performances in some pai duì and their supporters, their debut single Lies/Six. was already a huge hit, and they even hosted the SOU show with the theme song Norman'y, which was composed by Norman-G. The single Carrousel published in 1968 became the theme song of the "Tissot brand Knorr watch", the price of the watch was 135 yuan in Hong Kong, and it became popular after spreading Hong Kong, and many people took wearing this watch as a face-saving project.

Later, they joined TVB's Star-Show to host the show with Sam-Hui & The-Lotus. In just 5 years, they have released more than 20 singles and albums, which is extremely rare in this era, which shows their popularity.

……

"Sit down." Win the illness has stood up and said quite enthusiastically.

At this moment, the most angry young man standing at the forefront of winning the disease is the entertainment predator in Hong Kong decades later!

- Zheng Donghan!

A musician who has loved music for decades; At a young age, he formed a band with Teddy Robin and became the first lead guitarist in Hong Kong; After that, he moved behind the scenes; At the age of 24, he became the general manager of Polygram Records in Hong Kong, and with his brilliant performance, he rose all the way to become the president of Polygram Asia.

Later, Universal Music acquired the world's largest Polygram Records, and Zheng Donghan was recruited to serve as the chairman of the global pan-Asia Pacific region to oversee the Greater China region, including Japan, Australia, India and other countries, and is the highest chairman of the Chinese in the international record label. Later, EMI Records invited Zheng Donghan to become a partner of EMI China and serve as the president of Asia. Such an unprecedented courtesy, in addition to affirming Zheng Donghan's achievements in the record industry for decades, also indicates that the Chinese are no longer just senior managers of international record companies.

This is his political achievement, and he attaches great importance to it, and at the same time admires his contribution to the music scene.

In its heyday, more than half of Hong Kong's first-line red stars were in the hands of Zheng Donghan, including Leslie Cheung, Alan Tam, Wen Na Band, Xu Xiaofeng, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Li Ming D, Faye Wong, Grasshopper, etc.

In charge of the international company in the Chinese speaking area, and at the same time has Polygram, Xinyibao, Baoyixing, Shanghua, Fumao... and other brands, almost half of the Chinese-speaking market.

Japan, which took over the world's second-largest music market, has raised Universal Music's sales in Japan to second place in just one year.

In three years, the original fifth-ranked China Baidai became the first in market sales, the first Chinese partner of an international record company, and established the largest Chinese international music company.

In Zheng Donghan's 38-year music career, he has created many firsts for the Chinese music scene, such as successfully promoting Teresa Teng into the Japanese market, and participating in three red and white competitions, which are popular all over Asia; Teresa Teng's album released by her has achieved sales of 5 million copies in Asia, which is the highest selling album among Chinese people in decades.

Michael Learn·to·Rock's cover has set a record of 7 million digital music downloads by foreigners in China, which is still unmatched, and has also caused many foreign artists to want to represent their affairs in China.

Different from the model of cooperation between other international companies and concert managers, it also helps its artists to produce and promote concerts. Tao Zhe's "123 We Are All Wooden People" toured the world 15 times, and mainland artist Xu Wei performed 4 times, each of which reached 90% of the box office, and also set a record for Chinese artists to hold solo concerts.

Alan Tam, the singer who officially signed PolyGem this year, has been operated by Zheng Donghan since the time of the Wenner band. From records, movies, concerts, etc., it has set many records in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

In other words, from the end of the year, Zheng Donghan, a generation of legendary entertainment predators, will join Polygram and start his brilliant life.

This made Ying Yiji's mind turn sharply in an instant, pondering something.

Winning is already an out-and-out careerist. The so-called careerists are the characters who are in the lower class and want to soar, and the difference between them and the heroes in Dickens's novels is that they are somewhat unscrupulous, and under the command of *, they can do things that are difficult for ordinary people to do: or despicable, or cruel, or tenacious. Careerists are always love-hate, their ingenuity and meanness are like poppies showing off their cruel beauty, you can dislike them, but it is difficult to be indifferent to them, in reality you may not be able to bear or suffer when you meet such people.

He is such a person, who believes that only when he is ambitious can he know what is difficult and do his best; Only when you are ambitious can you know what you will do and work hard to do it; Only when you are ambitious can you know what you can do and do your best. Ambition can help you overcome obstacles and obstacles on your journey in life; Ambition can teach you not to lose your way in good times and not to give up in hard times; Ambition can also make you unmoved in the face of **, keep the promise of life, move forward bravely Ambition is wealth, ambition is strength, ambition is the foundation of success.

Naturally, he will not let go of these top talents. Cooked ducks, how can they slip away lightly.

Time seemed to stop for a few seconds, and the last few people sat down one by one.

Counting from the left of Zheng Donghan to the right, there is Guan Wei, the third elder of the Guan brothers. Who is Guan Wei? A senior and capable record professional in the Hong Kong record industry, nicknamed "Wei Ye", had a popular saying in the record circle back then: "If you don't know 'Wei Ye', you can play a limited number of times." ”

In the late 80s, he was the general manager of PolyGram, specializing in the promotion of artists, especially the part of TV promotion. Because of the relationship at work, Guan Wei has a close relationship with TVB TVB, and the relationship is very harmonious, and he never expected that because of Chen Huixian, he fell out with TVB, and was "so angry that he almost vomited blood" by TVB.

The Guan family is a masterpiece, and the two elder brothers are important figures in the music world. Guan Wei, a skinny little one, is followed by his second brother, Guan Weilin, who is much taller than his eldest brother Teddy Robin and younger brother Guan Wei, of course, the three of them are opposite.

In the future, if he hadn't met Ying Sick, he would be the director of production at PolyGram Records in Hong Kong. The myths created by Polygram such as Teresa Teng, Guan Zhengjie, Lei Anna, Xu Guanjie, Xu Xiaofeng, etc., are all related to Guan Weilin.

The rest are Gu Feng and Lin Feng, two good friends who look a little bit good, their fame is much worse than the previous ones, both in terms of achievements and fame, but they are still the most professional musicians in this era.

After being silent for a while, he was still thinking.

The whole nightclub is still hotly discussing the related matters related to winning the disease.

The sound of human voices, leather shoes, and the sound of glass of wine colliding all ignored and ignored the hustle and bustle outside.

After several people glanced at each other, Zheng Donghan, who had a righteous face and a dignified face, said in an atmospheric manner: "Mr. Win, please forgive me for suddenly taking the liberty of disturbing."

When he came back to his senses, he saw a smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, and said kindly:

"Mr. Zheng laughed, I have the honor to know the most outstanding band of this era, and it is too late to be happy." This sentence is quite calm, because he really misses the era when electric guitars were all the rage and bands were everywhere, and he has a basic respect for this band.

Win the sick and smile. His smile is just right, not warm, not stammering, polite with his arrogance, years of social experience have allowed him to control his feelings to the most perfect realm.

Zheng Donghan nodded with a smile, and sighed softly: "Our band is ready to disband." He said this in a noticeably lower tone.

The other four were also silent.

Although he had already guessed it, he still pretended to be surprised on his face, frowning and asking, "What's the matter?"

A few people listened to his conversation quietly, and looked at Zheng Donghan and said: "Here's the thing, our creator Teddy Robin has gone to Europe to travel. In other words, I went to wander, and I don't know how many years will be before we can meet again. ”

Looking at Zheng Donghan's face, elegant speech and demeanor, even if he wins the disease, he can't sigh secretly, this is a second person.

Zheng Donghan didn't treat him?

While staring at his face and observing him, while listening, Ying Yiji immediately sat up straight and asked, "Wandering?" Why? ”
