Anita Mui announced that this year's honorary awards will be awarded to Danny Chan and Ka Kui Wong who have just passed away.

The audience got up and sang "What do you want in life", "I love you deeply", "The days of our life" and "Broad Sky", all of which are classics of the times.

Before that, there were Tan, Sally Yeh, Leslie Cheung, then Faye Wong, Peng Ling, Nicky Wu and Xu Zhian.

The most active is the "Four Kings". Even Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who acted in movies for several years, won the Silver Award for the most popular Chinese song.

However, at the beginning, Hacken Lee just sang a few lyrics behind Alejandro Delfino and hurried off the stage.

The audience didn't even see what color he was wearing.

Obviously, there was really nothing about Hacken Lee at that time.

He knows that hard work is not a necessary condition for success, and there is always something called luck.

But you can't wait for your own time to come to you

You must try to create it.

For him, career is always awkward.

Hacken Lee always thought that he would become a professional football player. Singing is just a hobby for him. It is quite satisfying to attend a school celebration once in a while and get the appreciation of his classmates and teachers.

/kloc-The failure at the age of 0/8 changed all this.

1985, the 4th Hong Kong Rookie Singing Contest invites talents from all walks of life. Hacken Lee signed it decisively. I sang a song "Roots of Love" and didn't even get into the top three.

Being young, he was disappointed with the result. After all, he has never suffered from singing at school.

Now, look back at these contestants, Alejandro Delfino, Su Yongkang, Vivian Chow and Cao Meng, who are all famous figures in the music industry.

In fact, this failure is not too wronged.

Parents and teachers are the happiest when they go back to school. Singing as idols has never been the "right way" in their hearts.

However, just a few months before he was going to study abroad, Vivian Chow called and asked him to take part in the second amateur singing competition in the 19th district of Hong Kong. This makes Hacken Lee's inner unwillingness awakened again.

Vivian Chow and Hacken Lee.

He thought it would be better to try again before going abroad and leave some memories for himself.

This time, Hacken Lee chose Love in the Fog, which is popular all over Hong Kong, just to pay tribute to her idol Alan Tam, but she didn't want to win the championship at once.

I really answered the sentence in the song: like a fog, it is erratic in front of me.

In this life, sometimes you just eat soft and not hard.

After the competition, Hacken Lee got a contract with Polaroid Records and became a professional singer.

The following year, he released his first album "Hacken Lee" with the same name, including a song called "The Ideal Start", and Hacken Lee wrote his own lyrics.

Since you have chosen, you should try your best to know whether you are suitable or not. This was Hacken Lee's heartfelt thought at that time.

Hacken Lee couldn't hide his disappointment because the record didn't sell well.

At this moment, good news comes to your door: ハーフムーン by Naoko Kawai? セレナー belongs to him.

When he first entered the company, Hacken Lee liked this song very much. Someone told him that it was useless, so he couldn't argue with his predecessor and gave up.

This opportunity has finally come.

He hurriedly rearranged the music and asked Xiang Xuehuai to write lyrics. The serenade of the Half Moon, which has been sung until now, is finished.

It's a pity that Serenade of the Moon didn't catch fire that year. Hacken Lee is just an unknown newcomer.

At this time, TVB found him and invited him to star in the youth idol drama "Teenagers No More".

Stills of "Teenager No More"

With the popularity of the series, the theme song of the same name he sang has also received widespread attention.

The company seized the opportunity to release the album "The Myth of Summer". There are theme songs and episodes of TV series, and a pair of little angels sung by Hacken Lee and the heroine Luo Mingzhu, which are probably equal to the original soundtrack of TV series.

This wave of hot spots has been well polished, and Hacken Lee has gradually become famous.

After Never Young, I was invited by the Blue Moon crew to sing the theme song Never Change and won the first top ten golden melody award in my life.

The praise that followed was endless.

"During the period after you became popular, no one said you were bad." Later, Hacken Lee recalled the days when he was on cloud nine after becoming famous, but it seemed very casual.

The media once speculated that it was because he was too proud to "hide in the snow", and Aaron Kwok of the same company was known as the "Four Kings".

He didn't explain much either. I realized who I was at that time.

Young, who hasn't been carried away by fame and fortune?

Especially after so many futile efforts.

Fortunately, he has an idol who is also a father and friend, reminding him to defend himself in the torrent.

Alan Tam is too important for Hacken Lee.

A good boy who met his idol for the first time

Alan Tam was born in 1950.

In the 1970s, wynners was formed to compete for the world with Samuel Hui, a Hong Kong music legend. In the 1980s, Wynners and Leslie Cheung formed a "Zhang Tan hegemony", which was evenly divided.

When Hacken Lee was studying, she was fascinated by Alan Tam, and her bedroom was covered with posters of idols.

Later, before the movie was released, Hacken Lee occasionally went to the gym to kill time. Once, I happened to meet Alan Tam in a weightlifting competition.

"Allen, this is Hacken Lee. I don't know how many prizes you won in this year's Jade Pure Gold Fair? "

Alan Tam was a little surprised. He has never seen such a straightforward young man.

"Maybe Love Trap will win the prize, and I can't tell you anything else."

Despite his doubts, Alan Tam answered the reckless boy seriously.

This nonsense conversation is the first time they met.

Hacken Lee and Alan Tam.

"At first he was my idol, and later he became a colleague and partner, sometimes just like my father." Hacken Lee summed up their relationship like this.

He often receives a phone call from Alan Tam at eight o'clock in the morning. Alan Tam will comment on Hacken Lee's modeling performance in the variety interview or music scene the night before.

?

Hacken Lee was also hand-picked as his successor in public.

It never occurred to him that such a humble compliment would make him feel guilty for more than ten years.

The lingering "fifth king"

Time flies to the nineties.

Leslie Cheung temporarily left the music scene, Danny Chan and Ka Kui Wong died one after another, and Alan Tam announced a long time ago that he would no longer participate in any music programs of the nature of competitions.

The memory of old friends in the music world has always been limited.

Soon, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Liming, Aaron Kwok, Faye Wong, Sandy Lam and others gradually occupied the mainstream of the market and opened a new era of vigorous development.

The most noteworthy one is 1992.

Anita Yuen, who just won the title of Hong Kong Sister, and Hacken Lee jointly filmed the TV series "He is from Heaven", which tells a fantastic story of "An angel was knocked down by a satellite".

Stills of Hacken Lee & Anita Yuen's "He is from Heaven"

Director Li Yanfang gave Hacken Lee a dead order: You must write the theme song before the end of the drama.

Hacken Lee can only do this, every day after filming, tired to death, but also hiding in the car to create.

This kind of life lasted for several days.

That day, he wrote that at seven or eight in the morning, the sun rose into the sky.

Seeing that all the artists and staff in the same group had slept enough, they happily returned to the set. Only his brain was in a mess and his eyes could not be opened.

"I think my fate is so painful? So I wrote Red Sun. "

In the later days, Hacken Lee often burst into singing "Red Sun" in the middle of a concert.

That's his encouragement when he is tired, depressed and self-doubt.

"Red Sun" has become a must-sing track of KTV nowadays, and everyone will hum a few words along with it.

Its fate, like "Serenade of Half Moon", is "not worthy of the name" in the Top Ten Jade Gold Awards.

Because it was the first year of the birth of the "Four Kings".

This is Hong Kong's "father of concerts" Zhang's collective name for the most popular male singers at that time, which has been recognized by the general public and is still in use today.

The following year, Hacken Lee switched to Starlight Records.

At the award ceremony at the end of the year, the host invited five "most popular male singers" candidates to take the stage, namely Hacken Lee, Aaron Kwok, Jacky Cheung, Liming and Andy Lau.

After fierce competition, Hacken Lee finally won the fifth place and became the most popular male singer.

1993 Top Ten Jade Pure Gold Awards Ceremony

At that time, he stood next to the popular "Four Heavenly Kings", which seemed a bit bleak. Hacken Lee's title of "the fifth king" has also been passed down to this day.

Don't forget, there will be consequences

195, Hacken Lee held his second solo concert in Hong Kong Red Pavilion, with a total of 10, which was a poor box office.

Basically, there are thousands of seats in each game, and at the worst, there are only half of them.

"Even if there is only one audience, try your best to sing." Hacken Lee is not ignorant of this truth.

When you really face the empty stadium and think of the glory of the first concert two years ago, it is really difficult to adjust.

Just after he gritted his teeth and finished singing a song, Alan Tam appeared. Alan Tam deliberately took time to come and see the situation in Hacken Lee before going to work.

Sitting on the stairs backstage that day, the idol patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Tonight's scene is definitely not good-looking, so you should work harder in the future to prove to all the friends who didn't come tonight that you can sing. I hope they will come again next time. "

Hacken Lee remembered this encouragement for half his life.

The first row from the right: Hacken Lee, Alan Tam.

Objectively speaking, whether it is popularity, singing or creative ability, he is not bad at all. But it was the whole 1990s that sat in the audience and presided over the awards ceremony.

No one wants this to happen.

For many years, he has never concealed his desire for "the most popular male singer".

Later, Hacken Lee worked harder and released the albums When I Find You and Looking for the Best. Keqin is deeply loved by the audience.

Help my good friend Vivian Chow write the lyrics "Favorite" to become a classic;

He also served as the host of the TVB World Cup, and created the widely sung song "The Adventure of Fans".

1999, he came back to buy the universal record of his old club Polaroid, released new songs and featured album "One and a half years", and rearranged it by excavating the legacy of the sea.

The deepest feelings touched the audience at once.

"Serenade of Half Moon" has added opera style through full orchestral music, which is more innovative than the idol Alan Tam cappella's "Red Sun".

It is not difficult to see that Hacken Lee made efforts for his obsession.

This time, the work is finally on fire. His fame is getting bigger and bigger.

There is a sentence in Guan Hanqing's Flowers Never Fall Old that is especially suitable for Hacken Lee:

"I am a copper pea, which can't be steamed, boiled, pounded, fried or exploded."

If you have no luck in music, you have to be stubborn.

As long as we can keep it, there will be clouds and sunrises.

The music scene after the Millennium is changing rapidly.

The "Four Heavenly Kings" who once occupied the limelight parted ways, and the Cantonese song market gradually weakened, resulting in Tao Zhe, Jay Chou, JJ Lin, Stephanie and other Mandarin stars.

It's Hacken Lee's turn in this new and old booth.

At the beginning of 2002, Hacken Lee held the "Hacken Lee Aitata Concert" in the Red Pavilion, which received enthusiastic response and needed to be supplemented.

Then the same thing happened to the superstar's "Hong Kong Music Alan Live" concert in Alan Tam.

The two of them had a whim: anyway, we should add a venue, so we might as well save the venue fee and the reporter's hard work.

The combination of "Zuo Lin has Lee" began in this way.

They cooperated tacitly, and this song lasted for 18 years.

It's still so hot that it's hard to get a ticket.

At the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony in the following year, Ceng Zhiwei gave a card of the winner of "Most Popular Male Singer" to the host Alan Tam.

Under the stage, Hacken Lee was dressed in white.

Andy Lau, a senior, and Xu Zhian, the same age, sit on the left. On the right are Eason Chan and Jay Chou, the future kings of Cantonese songs and Chinese songs.

This seating arrangement is really great.

Alan Tam secretly glanced at his business card, paused for three seconds to adjust his emotions, and then said:

"Because of a word, I feel guilty for more than ten years. I can finally say it tonight. I have found a successor. The winner is Hacken Lee. "

At that moment, the audience cheered.

Hacken Lee took the stage to deliver his acceptance speech: "Thank you for giving me opportunities in good times and bad times for so many years." He turned to look at Alan Tam.

Alan Tam once again apologized for saying that he was his "successor" many years ago, and gave him three words when Hacken Lee faced the highest honor:

Better than arrogance.

After more than ten years of ups and downs, suddenly it was as light as smoke lingering over the venue.

He finally got his wish at the age of 35.

Love is the greatest gift in life.

The later story seems to be going well.

June, 5438+October, 2006 10, Hacken Lee won the "most popular male singer" award for the third time at the annual Top Ten Jade Pure Gold Award Ceremony, and announced on the spot that he would marry his girlfriend Lu Shuyi.

The two met in the most depressing year of 92 in Hacken Lee.

Hacken Lee was the special guest of the Miss Hong Kong Competition that year.

Lu Shuyi is the champion of Hong Kong Sister.

Later, under the pursuit of Hacken Lee, the two began to associate.

Hacken Lee never had an affair, and Lu Shuyi never gave up when he was at a low ebb.

In a blink of an eye, it is 13 years.

At the end of the year, the two hosted a banquet at the Intercontinental Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The wedding was led by and, with Andy Lau and his sister as the best man and bridesmaid respectively, and Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu, Liu and Liu were present to celebrate.

They even went to Hacken Lee's favorite Manchester United Stadium to take wedding photos.

Happiness finally came as promised.

He can hold concerts, show movies, spend his life with his lover, become close friends with idols, continue his hobby of playing football and occasionally take his son to training. ......

He felt that life could have been so plain and beautiful.

But there are always some things that must be done.

Hacken Lee's original words were: "I believe in fate very much."

This fate is music.

Just like the persistence at the trough, he has not stopped now because of his fame and fortune.

Hacken Lee later won the title of "the highest-selling local male singer in the whole year" for three years in a row, and his works such as Urgent, Escort in the Flower Season, The Sky is Blue, Whose Flowers Are Falling, etc. are very nice.

He continued the concert "Zuo Lin has You", and also participated in music variety shows such as Masked King of Songs, I am a singer and Golden Melody Fishing.

"If there are still audiences who will like to listen to my songs, I will keep singing." At that time, Hacken Lee was over half a year old. This is no longer the "great truth" to comfort himself when he was young, but has become the principle he abides by all his life.

Let people comment and change the music world.

He always stands firmly on the stage, as bright as a red sun.
