Back to Ren Xianqi’s green years
In 1987, Ren Xianqi, who had just entered university, relied on his love for music to find a job in a musical instrument store and learned guitar while working. After saving some savings, Ren Xianqi formed a band and served as guitarist and lead singer. Later, he also served as a campus DJ and participated in hundreds of campus concerts.
In 1990, Ren Xianqi was discovered by a record company and recorded a compilation album "Running to the Rainbow" with other artists, officially entering the entertainment industry. Within a year, he released three solo albums, and as he gradually gained fame, his company faced bankruptcy. In the end, "five sets of tables and one singer", Ren Xianqi was "sold" to Rolling Stone Music together with the tables and chairs. In the next three years, Ren Xianqi did not get the opportunity to release a new album, and was included in the list of singers whose contracts were terminated every year. It was the producer Xiaochong who kept him despite all the opinions. During the three years when he was frustrated, Ren Xianqi did not follow the crowd. On the contrary, he insisted on writing lyrics and composing music in his office every day, and quietly practiced his internal skills.
In June 1996, 30-year-old Ren Xianqi released his first solo album " relies on " on Rolling Stone Music with the help of bug , which eventually sold 160,000 copies. At the end of the same year, Ren Xianqi waited for the album " The Heart Is Too Soft " tailor-made for him, which created a sales legend of 26 million. Since then, Ren Xianqi has embarked on his own peak decade. In 1998, he released the album "Love is like the Pacific ", which sold over one million copies. The song "Look at the Girl Opposite" became a household name. The following year, he made his debut on the Spring Festival Gala stage with this song. At the same time, Ren Xianqi's "film and television songs" are also widely circulated, such as "Ren Xiaoyao", " Sad Pacific ", " Spring Flowers Will Bloom ", etc., all of which have high national popularity. In the 31 years since
debuted, whether facing flowers of applause or thorns and troughs, Ren Xianqi’s love for music has only increased. In the fourth issue of "Time Concert", powerful singers will also perform " Tianya ", "Ren Xiaoyao", "Heart is Too Soft", "Very Hurt", " I am a fish " and "Spring Flowers Will Bloom" respectively. ""Sad Pacific", "The Girl Opposite Look Over" and other eight classic works by Ren Xianqi.
Wants to hold a "concert" with old Rolling Stone friends
In Ren Xianqi's mind, which of his songs is the most difficult to change?
"I personally think it should be "Sad Pacific" because it is more masculine, so I am also looking forward to someone being able to help me provide more ideas from different angles this time." Ren Xianqi said that he would like to invite Zhou Huajian , Friends such as Li Zongsheng, Du Dewei, Huang Pinyuan and other friends reunited and held a music old friends meeting. "I want to organize a group of good friends from the Rolling Stones and have a music old friends meeting. It will be very exciting."
"I would like to describe "Time Concert" as warm, pure and touching." Ren Xianqi said that without competition and competition, musicians gather together like a family, which also allows them to pay more attention to the music itself and music in a pressure-free environment. The singer wants to express the spiritual core, "This way of meeting friends through singing makes people very relaxed and happy. It reminds me of the past, when we were all like a big family."
In the third episode, Ren Xianqi adapted Phoenix Legend's " Free Flying ", but he did not adopt the previous competition-oriented adaptation mode to amplify the rhythm of the song and add technical interpretation. Instead, he combined the chivalrous spirit he understood with the characteristics of the ethnic minorities contained in the song. “I wanted to make it a little slower and use the vastness of the grassland to interpret the feeling of being carefree in the wind. "
With the changes of the times, the communication carrier of music has also changed. At present, short video has become a promotional platform for many songs, and the climax of the song is often intercepted for dissemination. Although this form of dissemination can make the song explode rapidly Although it is popular, it is still possible to separate the expression of the song. Regarding this, Ren Xianqi also expressed his views in the interview: "When we were producing in the past, the prelude should be regarded as the prelude to a story. The overture is very important if the story is to be presented completely. " He hopes that while enjoying the good music in the short video, everyone can give the singers more time so that the singers can sing the stories they want to express to everyone.
