Andy Lau(刘德华),Aaron Kwok(郭富城),Leon Lai(黎明),and Jacky Cheung(张学友)were referred to as the “Four Heavenly Kings”(四大天王) by the media for their great popularity more than a decade ago. So far,their influence in the entertainment industry has not declined. Instead,they are still the focus of their fans and the media.
Andy Lau,born in a peasant family,did not enjoy a happy life in his childhood. When he was ten years old,his father opened a small restaurant. From then on,he had to carry water and do some cleaning every day. Such a hard life lasted for many years.
Later,he was discovered by TVB and was named one of “TVB’s Five Tigers” along with Tony Leung(梁朝伟),Michael Miu(苗侨伟),Felix Wong(黄日华),and Kent Tong(汤镇业). In the same year,his first album entitled Only Know that at this Moment I Love You(《只知道此刻爱你》)was released,for which he was praised as one of the “Four Heavenly Kings”.
In 1997,at the age of 36,Andy Lau was ranked the first in Ten Idols for the sixth time. In the same year,in the concert celebrating the return of Hong Kong to motherland,he was invited to sing the songWe are Chinese(《中国人》),which thrilled the audience greatly. After that,he made a singing tour throughout the mainland. All of the fourteen concerts were crowded with audience.
Last year,when he was 48,he finally admitted in public,in spite of great pressure,that he had got married. The news has caused different responses from his fans,ranging from blessings to curses. He posted a sentimental article to express his apology in his official website. He then put himself into work so as to express his thanks to his fans for their support.
So far,Aaron Kwok(郭富城)is the only Heavenly King who declares that he is still single. So who would be his lover has always been what interests the media most. This 45-year-old bachelor once declared that he would not get married before 50,although it is well known that Xiong Dailin(熊黛林)is his girl friend.
Aaron Kwok attributes his achievements to the society and decides to repay it with hard work. Before he was 40,he had got the Golden Horse Awards as the best leading actor(金马影帝) twice. But he is still not satisfied,saying,“In the past years,I have spent most of the time in filming. I am now just in my early 40s. So I am not too old. I will make good use of these years to produce more good films. Otherwise,I will surely regret.” Besides,he also wants to produce his own musicals(音乐剧). He says,“I hope to make more progress in music,so I want to produce my own musicals in the next 10 years. Now I’m waiting for such an opportunity. ”
In the eyes of the public,of the “Four Heavenly Kings”,Leon Lai’s(黎明)status is the most embarrassing. Compared with the other three kings,his only advantage lies in his height. He cannot sing as well as Jacky Cheung(张学友),or dance as well as Aaron Kwok(郭富城),or work as hard as Andy Lau(刘德华). As he is from the mainland,and,what’s more,he is not good at dealing with the media,the media in Hong Kong have never interviewed him.
Nevertheless,he has been progressing towards his goal smoothly. For example,he had hoped to establish his own recording company so that he only had to work for ten months in a year,with one and a half months for holidays. Later,his dream really came true. He established a large-scale recording company named A-Music,which has helped the development of a lot of singers.
At present,Leon Lai is thinking about establishing a model company. He wants to invite his wife to act as the CEO,and Xiong Dailin(熊黛林)as his model. But,as a boss,he has to take more trouble than as an artist. “I must be responsible for everybody. When my employees cannot make a decision,I have to do that instead. ”
As a humble man,Leon Lai has also tried to protect his privacy. He has never responded to his sex scandals in a direct manner. For this,he has been regarded as a model of being humble among the “Four Heavenly Kings”.
Crowned “God of Singing”,Jacky Cheung(张学友)is second only to Andy Lau(刘德华) in the number of fans. But he is the Heavenly King who got married first. Since his marriage,he has had no sex scandals with him. He is well known for caring about his family and loving his wife. As his wife dislikes washing dishes,he does the housework instead. On Fridays,he stays with his family and goes out to work on weekends. To Aaron Kwok(郭富城)who once acted as a support dancer(伴舞)of Jacky Cheung,he is the last good man in the entertainment industry.
Jacky Cheung became famous when the entertainment industry in Hong Kong was in its prime(处于黄金时期). So it was very easy for his albums to sell millions of copies. But since his marriage,inevitably his popularity reached a low point,resulting in a great reduction in his opportunities for filming and the sales of his albums. His income mainly came from his singing tour(巡回演唱会). Facing the choice between career and family,his decision was obvious,that is,the latter.
Since then,many years have passed. Now Jacky Cheung has two daughters and enjoys an enviable happy life with his family. At the same time,with his great success in the musical Snow
