In the 1990s, Huang Ka-kui, the lead singer of the famous domestic music group Beyond, once said this in an interview: There is no music industry in Hong Kong, only the entertainment industry.
Although many people disagreed with Wong Ka-kui's views at the time, from the current point of view, the loneliness of the Hong Kong music industry is precisely because they followed TVB's star-making route. Singers no longer rely on their works to gain popularity. Instead, they rely on packaging to attract attention, just like the current entertainment industry. Beyond
I think "Really Love You" by beyond is the most classic! This song was written by Liang Meiwei and composed by Huang Jiakui. It was released in July 1989. The song praises the greatness of maternal love, and the lyrics contain gratitude for maternal love and blessings to mothers. There is also a story behind the creation of this song. It was very difficult when the band Beyond was first formed. It was only the encouragement of my mother that led to its subsequent development.
She has always respected her son's ideas, and often listens to her son singing various songs. She thinks that his son is very talented, and often secretly sends money to Jia Kui, which has a great influence on Jia Kui's later development. It helps a lot. For this, Jiaju is very grateful to his mother. Later, on the eve of a concert on Mother's Day, Ka Kui composed this song to express his gratitude to his mother. Grasshopper Band
Grasshopper was very popular in Hong Kong at that time, and they won many awards. It seems that Ah Mui also admired them. With the protection of big stars, the road to stardom will definitely be easier. Hong Kong people Most people like love songs, and love songs are more popular, so they have an advantage. I only know one song by Grasshopper, and that is (Baby I'm Sorry), which is really nice. I think they were just popular singers back then.
Grasshopper made their debut through a singing competition. Seeing that the three boys danced well, Anita Mui invited them to be her dance partners, and then brought them into the field of singing. The three Grasshoppers also respected Anita Mui as their master. Judging from their later works, although Grasshopper has also released many albums and sang popular songs such as "Baby I'm Sorry" and "Lost Love Front Alliance", these pop songs are more catchy and especially have a good rhythm. Six years of Golden Melody Awards
In the past, Beyond was always outclassed by other bands in the annual band rankings. Especially in their peak years, Beyond was won the Golden Melody Award for 6 consecutive years by Grasshopper. , the main reason is that Anita Mui of Grasshopper had too much influence on the Hong Kong music scene at that time. Although Grasshopper is much bigger than Beyond in terms of data, the data is only temporary. After so many years, Grasshopper has few songs that have reached the mainland. Very few. Conclusion
Looking at all of Wong Ka Kui's music, he should be the musician who best combines idealistic music with the commercial market. His musical attainments are quite high; his style of music is relatively atmospheric and has great influence. The layout is world-class, and the degree of palace level, I think it is not inferior to those creative masters in Europe and the United States. The music style can be both refined and popular. I think Huang Jiaju can be called a musician, because in his music I saw the ideal.
