Star Yao Xiangjiang
In 1970s and 1980s, Hong Kong was a hot land of youth, where eastern and western cultures exchanged and collided. Before Bruce Lee went abroad to promote national integrity, James J.S.Wong "laughed in the sea". The Japanese pop song "Song of the Sunset" was adapted into "Song of Qian Qian Que", and Mark in "The True Color of Heroes" became the idol that Korean young people imitated one after another. At that time, there was a trend of "barbaric growth" in Hong Kong's culture, and heroes from all walks of life took turns to fight it. The record store of Xinhe Center in Mong Kok developed the "Xinhe Index" in 1990s to reflect the popularity index with the sales of star photos.
When I was looking for an album these two days, I found that I had released so many albums and records that year, and I felt a little sorry. At that time, I signed a contract with Polaroid Records, and every time I went back to record songs, I felt at home. The sense of belonging is because all the staff in the company are very Qi Xin, and singers and producers work closely together. Like brothers and sisters, other stars in the company, such as Samuel Hui, Teresa Teng, Jacky Cheung, Alan Tam and Paula Tsui, help each other. Kuang Meiyun said with a smile that many people thought that the song she sang for the first time was "Only Love Forever" with Jacky Cheung 1986, but the real first chorus was with Danny Chan.
At this point, we should go back to Kuang Meiyun's previous experience as a singer. /kloc-Kuang Meiyun, who just entered the society at the age of 0/9, started working in an advertising company. 1982 won the runner-up in the Miss Hong Kong beauty contest and began to enter the entertainment circle. In 1984, Maggie Cheung and Danny Chan performed on the same stage, and Kuang Meiyun, as the backstage of Maggie Cheung, sang in body double, which opened up a new path for the singers.
Kuang Meiyun, who likes singing, is a cheerful and enthusiastic person in daily life. She also likes to deal with all kinds of friends, so she has developed a different identity. 1997 After the reunification, Hong Kong has implemented a language policy of "being biliterate and trilingual", that is, writing Chinese and English, and speaking Cantonese, English and Putonghua in daily life. But before the reunification, few people in Hong Kong spoke Mandarin, and even many artists from the mainland and Taiwan Province Province tried their best to practice Cantonese. Kuang Meiyun often does the opposite when learning a language. 1987, released the first Mandarin album. She smiled from ear to ear when she told her story about learning Mandarin.
At that time, I went to Taiwan Province Province to record my first Mandarin disc. At that time, my Mandarin was like "boiled melon", and I didn't know how to pronounce many words. On the way from the airport to the recording studio, I kept dragging the staff to ask how to read the words on the roadside signs and asked them to communicate with me in Mandarin. After a trip to Taiwan Province Province, my Mandarin improved a little. This experience laid the foundation for her to enter the mainland in the future. She appeared on CCTV Spring Festival Gala twice in 199 1 and 1993, and held a solo concert in the mainland. At the most diligent time, she even gave more than 50 concerts a year.
Starting from 199 1, the concert tour was held in Guangdong. The development of the city is not very fast, but different cities will give me different life experiences. I like to communicate with local people very much, so that the language can flow like a song, which can deepen mutual understanding and reduce barriers.
Thirty years have passed, and the links between Hong Kong and the Mainland are getting closer and closer, but there is still some resistance to the promotion of Putonghua in Hong Kong. In order to do a good job in the return of popular support, Kuang Meiyun, who holds many positions in various societies, will actively promote Putonghua on many occasions. We have cooperated with Hong Kong Putonghua Professional Association for many times and invited professional tutors to hold Putonghua training classes for members of Hong Kong Zhuhai Association. Language is also a manifestation of cultural self-confidence. In the 1980s, when Hong Kong's culture was at its peak, it was a trend to learn Cantonese and sing Cantonese songs. In recent years, the national strength of the motherland has become stronger, and many foreigners take Chinese as a second language. Hong Kong should strengthen the study of Putonghua in order to realize cultural exchange and language mutual trust.
Tell the "China Story" well in Hongkong.
20 17 is the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, and this year is also of great significance to Kuang Meiyun, who was elected as a representative of the National People's Congress in Hong Kong. She paid close attention to the development of culture and art in Hong Kong, and put forward serious suggestions to promote the development of culture and art when she held two sessions in Beijing. In the Tenth Five-Year Plan put forward by 20021,support for Hong Kong to develop into a cultural and artistic exchange center between China and foreign countries has been added, which provides a direction for Hong Kong to further integrate into the overall situation of national development in the new era.
Kuang Meiyun described his own experience: In the 1990s, Guangzhou Tianhe Gymnasium had no lifting platform and could only accommodate 8,000 people at most. I built the first lifting platform there; At present, there are more than 6.5438+0.69 million sports performance venues in the Mainland, which provide rich soil for cultural development. Only when a small river flows into a big river can it flow for a long time. Hong Kong should give full play to its advantages of relying on the motherland and facing the world, and cooperate and communicate more. For example, Greater Bay Area is a Cantonese cultural area, and there are many memories, including the Hong Kong-style culture of that era, which will cause * * *.
Kuang Meiyun went on to say: This column is called Celebrity Hong Kong Taste. I want to say, what is Hong Kong flavor? Hong kong flavor can be daily makeup, dressing style, neon lights at night and old buildings and alleys; It can be pineapple bag, tea restaurant, Hong Kong dim sum, teahouse; It can also be a big museum, a traditional opera center, and the West Kowloon Cultural District ... Many people say that Hong Kong culture has not developed after the golden age, partly because of the development of the times and technology. For example, after the Millennium, records were replaced by online data music; The prosperity of cultural and entertainment undertakings in the Mainland has made Hong Kong no longer "stand out". On the basis of promoting Hong Kong's unique culture and gathering creative talents, the "Hong Kong flavor" is more important to inherit the "Chinese flavor" and tell the story of China well.
From art to business to politics.
The pragmatic and enterprising spirit of Hong Kong people is vividly reflected in Kuang Meiyun, who never sets limits on her identity. From a singer to a businessman, and now a well-known NPC deputy, Kuang Meiyun's identity in art, business and politics has changed easily. She can be "Kuang Mei" in every fan's heart, Carly K who pursues fashion trends, Yue Ru, a disciple of Master Foguangshan Xingyun, and "President Kuang" who helps students in the mainland. Ever-changing, the only constant seems to be the "changeable" nature of keeping up with the trend of the times, just like the development of Hong Kong in different historical periods, so that "the wind continues to blow" and this "elegant demeanor remains romantic".
