A very well said and comprehensive analysis! You speak out what i think. As a follower of Kpop and Korean showbiz for over 8 years ago, i have witnessed how successful the Korean model is, they have so many supplies of artists and showbiz participants, so many different music genre and styles of artists, from boy band to solo, .... their stage performance, their business models, fans nurturing, engagement and fans service, ....all make up a very successful showbiz market. But i'm happy to see the recent occurrence of 聲夢 , at least it attracts me to come back to watch a HK tv show, although there's still a long way to go!
与其说香港樂坛衰落,不如说香港樂坛由灿烂归于平淡,又或者说风水轮流转,我是60后,又是音乐钢琴老师,从小听中外流行音乐,还记得小时候听丽沙,想思涙,情人别去后人消瘦。。。,突然,有一天,听到许冠杰的命里有时终须有,半斤八两,双星情歌。。然后是顧家辉的啼笑恩缘,小李飞刀,家变,上海滩,那时电视剧日播夜播,很多廣东曲像洗腦一样,当然,娱乐行业也蓬勃,电影电视剧卖到全世界,就像今天韩国一样,当然香港广东歌也流行起来,这叫domino effect. Pop music, 流行音乐, 故名思义,就是像fashion 一样,今天迷你裙,明天鸡翼袖,现在流行什么❓就是韩风嘛!当然張先生说得也有理,但是音乐本来是一种艺术文化,可是从来香港就有文化沙漠之称,黄家驹说,香港只有娱乐圈,没有音坛,香港人一向是以经济为主导整个社会,连音乐坛也是如此,其实很不健康,是一种病态,要香港樂坛归回正轨,必须尊重音乐和音乐人,音乐不紧紧是娱乐事业, show business, 而已,他代表一个群体的文化,思想,生活,意识形态,所以应该有多元化,例如,顧家辉的作品就有很多反应出中国文化的特点,像啼笑恩缘,民间小调的风格。以上是小人的愚见。香港樂坛加油↖(^ω^)↗。
I guess less attack and more appreciation in any aspect. A lot of people does not understand , with all this negativity, by the end..human is the one that suffer.. Peace!
