How could there not be a song Zhang Huimei in your life? Those of us who cried silently at night, those of us who danced and danced in KTV with our sisters and had a great time, those of us who looked up at the luminous body on the stage at the concert and let the singing penetrate into every cell and cried until they trembled and hugged each other tightly us. How could we forget how Amei came into our lives.
In 1996, Zhang Huimei chose to become Zhang Huimei, and everything had just begun. At that time, we didn’t know where her music would lead us, and we didn’t know how huge and strong her girl power would be. We couldn’t imagine that she would become a dazzling AMeiZING. Star, I don’t know yet, in the future she will be like a domineering queen, opening the city gate to welcome everyone into the utopia of love.
"I was very impressed. I saw a Michael Jackson concert. I was not a singer at that time (1993), and I had not yet performed as a resident singer. Ever since I was a child, I felt that the concerts on TV were none of my business. I thought he was a superstar. When he came to Taipei, I packed into the stadium with tens of thousands of people. The feeling was very different. I was small and could only see him through the gap. I don't know why at that moment. I really have a feeling: I can stand on it."
I can't explain it, maybe it's a sign of fate. In 1994, A-mei won the five-level championship in the "Five Lights Star Singing Arena" and served as Relax in 1995. The lead singer of the band said, "I didn't think much about it, I just thought it was like this when standing on the stage. Then Yusheng saw me, and Sister Xiaoyan, Mr. Peng, and Teacher Chen Fuming also came to the pub to listen to me singing. After I signed with the record company, I I don’t know anything. They asked me: What color do you like? Where are you from? What do you want to do as a singer? My reaction is that I want to have a concert. "
This sounds like "too much thought." A newcomer, just one year and 28 days after the release of her first album "Sisters", she actually held the "Sisters Tour". Amei was full of gratitude, "I never thought about having a concert just after the second album was released, but it happened. As soon as I walked out, I saw the mountains and valleys full of people, and I remembered that I used to rock and roll down there. Michael had stood here before, and now I was standing on the stage. The excitement and excitement felt so wonderful now, just like a fantasy journey. "
When I stood on the high hill, I saw it in front of me. Unexpected scenery appears. For the concert queen, that was such a fascinating scene, "When I look down from the stage, everyone is doing one thing at the same time, whether it's holding hands or singing a chorus, I tell you how beautiful it is. , everyone’s voice will make me take a few steps back. When there is a big force in front of you, you will instinctively step back. Many times I will tell people at the scene, don’t be shy, laugh when you need to, and cry when you need to. Cry, shout if you want. If you are filled with lots and lots of love, go hug the person next to you. The energy of everyone coming together is very powerful and can be transformed into a comforting force. I myself have been healed by you many times. There are so many things. I can’t describe them, but I really hope you can come and experience them one by one." The "AMeiZING World Tour" for the 15th anniversary of
html lasted for 19 months and had a total of 59 concerts; the "Utopia World Tour" started in 2015. "Concert", including the 20th anniversary edition of "Utopia 2.0 Celebration" will soon exceed 100 concerts. As long as you have personally experienced a girl-style concert and experienced the exhaustion of crying, laughing, shouting and dancing all night long, you will understand how much A-Mei cares about the concert and is not afraid of the exhaustion of physical and mental energy. , and also want to convey the truest feeling in my heart at a glance."Every performance and every stage, my mood is different from my state, and what I can receive from everyone at the scene is also different. I myself hope that I can sing everywhere, and I can I keep singing like this. I tell myself every performance, maybe this is the last one, and as long as my situation is still good, I will give it all out with concentration and without reservation. "Because of love, I am willing to keep giving." . Once you stand on stage, you don't care about anything.
In the past two years, the Utopia tour and the preparation of the new album have been carried out at the same time. A-mei has been shuttled between the two worlds of "releasing" and "receiving". "My SOP is that after the concert, I have to start pulling back the next day. How to do it is to do things that you can do independently and quietly, but you will still be excited and excited on the second day, and you have to find a way to calm down completely on the third day. Let yourself start from scratch. If you don't start from scratch, it will affect your next performance. You must end this performance after your enthusiasm, adjust to the loss, quickly bring yourself back to zero, and concentrate on returning to the album. Then when you go to the next concert, you will feel like you are singing for the first time, and the enthusiasm is still there."
's new album was originally scheduled to be released last year, but it was cut off and re-practiced. "I stayed open during the period of collecting the songs. From the perspective of Amei and Amit , whoever receives it faster will send it first. Amit has also received many good songs, but they are too similar to before. I don’t want her to be restrained and constrained. She needs more. It takes time to brew. The songs collected by Amei are relatively complete. This new album will be more reserved and quiet. This is something I have experienced deeply in the past two or three years. Each song has its own independent story, emotion, and perspective. . I will choose this one from hundreds of demos. It definitely has a very clear image and vocabulary that I want to say. It will be released at the end of the year. You should like it."
Yes. Yu's works are constantly refined and refined, pushing himself to the limit. If it's not good enough, he will try again. If it doesn't feel right, he will try again. "I think it's great to push yourself. For many things, you have to force yourself to choose a very clear angle and feeling, force yourself to enter this area, and move forward. I don't think this is a bad thing. There will definitely be success ahead. There is a period of hitting a wall, but after hitting it, something will come out that will scare you, oh, this is it. Without that process, there may not be this result. "
To be a good storyteller, you must first let go. I become a feeling animal and appreciate the sentimentality after falling in love. "I like to listen to other people's stories and observe the things I see. I like to watch movies, like some European independent producers, many themes will touch my heart. For example Two people can obviously meet, but always miss each other; or one parent and child want to control, or do not know how to express and are indifferent. This kind of subtle emotion between people can easily inspire my imagination. . "
She is like a carrier of "emotion", and she returns it in music as much as she carries it. "When I finish singing these songs, I will say that I will feel nothing at all next time, as if I have hollowed myself out. But after two or three years, I feel that the accumulated emotions are getting stronger and there are more and more things I want to say. Fortunately, I can express them in music.”
It’s as if there is a soul in the singing, flowing in the body, which is proof of living. “When I am fine, I often go back and listen to some songs. It is an emotional process, and I will clearly feel that when I entered the recording studio to sing, The feelings, the things that are happening or seen at the moment, and the many pictures, I keep turning back and forth, it is a bit like writing a diary, they are all nourishment for me."
"I really started reading it a long time ago. I have always hoped that my songs, my voice, or my human feelings can bring you a very positive reaction. "But how can one stay on the sunny side forever without getting burned?" Even A-mei has darkness and fragility that she has to live with. "I am a person who can keep a low profile in private. In fact, my life has ups and downs like everyone else, and I am sometimes affected by some public opinions. I am also an ordinary person. I will lose my temper when I should, and I will collapse when I should. , you will still hide if you want to, and you will be autistic when you are autistic, and you will not see anyone. I believe that everyone will develop a survival mode when encountering an urgent and high-pressure situation."
"These dozen. Over the past few years, I have been quite dark in a certain area. The more I lock myself in, I feel inexplicable anxiety and fear. You can't describe the fear.There was a time when I would suddenly wake up with a startle, and cry for some reason. After crying, I felt a little relieved, but when I looked back, I didn't understand why I cried. It used to bother me, but I'm better now, maybe because I'm very busy and can't fit in those things. "
The protective net woven by the love of my family has blocked the possibility of falling. "I am very grateful to my family for being by my side. They are wonderful and always make me feel that they are all there. Even if I want to be autistic and put myself aside Locked up, I vaguely knew that they were all around me, not that they were all missing, or that they were too pushy or too clingy to me. They gave me just enough space. In the past decade or so, I had been at my lowest point, but fortunately I had them. I am there to care for you, like Mother Zhang, who has always stabilized and calmed me."
Whose life is not dependent on positive and negative, "In the end, you still have to rely on yourself, how to find a way, an angle, an idea. Let yourself escape. Time can really make a lot of things clearer. No matter the good or bad, you can let yourself go through it. When you see me appear again, maybe I have been in a very low state before, but no one has. I know, I just think that people are missing, but it is actually a self-healing mechanism from time to time. "
Since she was a child, her father was inexplicably convinced that she could sing and said that he would take her to the competition. After participating in the Five Lights Awards, she felt a lot of pressure and was afraid of forgetting her lyrics. Singing became less and less fun and more and more annoying. Her father told her that she could definitely make a difference on the stage. But she didn't believe it. After her father fell ill and passed away, she became a singer and stood on the stage with thousands of people. She kept thinking that if she had been more positive at that time, her father would have come and seen her and proudly said: This is my daughter. Look, she Can sing.
Because I have lost before, I deeply understand how rare love is and how to grasp it. When you can still sing, you should sing as hard as you can. If you have an idea, you should do it quickly. Why should you dodge when you can hug? This is Amei's consistent belief. When the bill for diverse families was making a fuss, she spent her own money to hold the " Love is the only " concert in Huashan. "Music really doesn't distinguish anyone. I have always wanted to tell more people and hope that any love can be , cherish each other in life. It is very important to cherish each other. Never wait until it is lost or it is too late before you think of doing it. "
"I always said at the concert, who are you coming with today? My wife, family, good friends, and besties are all love, and we must cherish and give this love. I am even happier to see many gay friends bringing their parents, holding their parents’ hands and telling them: This is our love. I am gay, but I still love you very much. You will think that it is a very soft power. In fact, gay love is not special at all, it is just like ordinary love. This kind of love is more special. It’s just more suitable for them and more comfortable. It’s not because many people support it that someone will be encouraged to become a gay.”
From “Brave” to “Rainbow”, A-mei has used her singing to collapse the walls between people’s hearts. , "In this world, there are many different kinds of love. All loves can be treated equally. It would be perfect. That is Utopia. And you must be very loyal to yourself and not be influenced by others. You will know very well Know what your love is, just love like this boldly!"
In 2017, Zhang Huimei is still Zhang Huimei. She would ask someone to do real-time subtitles during her concerts because some hearing-impaired fans reported that they were unable to participate in chatting topics other than lyrics. When she leaves in the car, she will open the window and say goodbye to her fans along the way. She will listen to you very carefully, sometimes laughing, sometimes with tears in her eyes.
She still firmly remembers what Zhang’s mother said, saying that the rice ears with the most knots and the most beautiful ones have the lowest heads. My sister said that Zhang’s mother doesn’t like to talk very much, but she likes to observe and will quietly do things that she thinks are good for you. No matter how long it takes, you can patiently plant a piece of neglected wasteland into a beautiful scenery and quietly complete the composition in your mind. She is also like this, working hard, quietly implementing the music blueprint, and then attributes all her achievements to the love of her family, the love of her fans, and the love that surrounds her.
She is like the humble sun. Love and music condense and merge in her body, constantly emitting heat and light. Sometimes there are sunspots that disturb the magnetic field in places you can't see directly, but that will eventually pass. She doesn’t need you to look up to her. As long as you are willing, regardless of age, gender or region, you can bask in the colorful warm sunshine together. She is a star, long-lasting and steadfast, the light on which we live.
