80s and Chinese music from the 1990s have always been very popular.
If you mention the godfather of Chinese music, who would you think of?
Lee Zongsheng , Luo Dayou , Alan Tam...
But there is another name that has been silent for many years but cannot be forgotten - Chen Huanchang.
Everyone affectionately called him Xiaozhu.
Many people are unfamiliar with him, but they don’t know that such a person with ordinary names dominated the Chinese music scene before Jay Chou became famous in . If he had been listening to Chinese pop music, he should have not heard of Xiao Chong’s creations.
Lam Yilian " Don't care who I am"
Du Dewei "Don't leave" "Love for a lifetime"
Richie Richie "Ren Xiaoyao" " Sad Pacific "
Huang Pinguan "Go with You to Old"
Leslie Cheung " Just Take It Really "
"Red Seal", "Heart So Soft", "Can I Hold You", "Intimate Love", etc., familiar and timeless classics are all representative songs of the times.
The lyrics in the song "Love the Country and Love Beauty" "Life is just a few short autumns, and you won't stop until you get drunk", made Xiao Chong and Li Lifen both become popular.
But since 1999, Xiaochuan, who rarely published works for 20 years, has only become a supporting role for others due to unmanned marketing.
Maybe it was because he debuted too early, and ours was too young at that time.
I have to admit that the achievements of Xiaozhu over the years are really underestimated.
Xiao Chong has always been one of the three major musicians in Taiwan (the others are Luo Dayou and Leehom), and one of the four kings behind Taiwan (the others are Leehom, Zhou Zhiping, and Wu Qixian ).
Since 1983, Xiao Chong has been devoted to the pop music scene and has entered the diversified music creation fields such as movie soundtracks, theme songs, advertising songs, school songs, charity activity songs, stage plays, etc., for 35 years.
His music creation style is ever-changing. It is not fixed in the same mode, but it is catchy and has a very high singing style.
's contribution to the Asian pop music scene is that every song he created is classic.
1985 Xiao Chong released his first personal Mandarin album "I'm Not a Bad Child".
In 1986, for the Hong Kong movie "The Story of the Rose", written " Heart Crying " sung by Huang Yingying .
" My own shadow " created for Cai Qin in the same year.
tailored the song "Sad Juliet" for Yi Nengjing . The album broke through eight platinum sales in Taiwan with this song, and created the most dazzling jade girl fairy tale "Yi Nengjing Era" in the Taiwanese pop music market that year.
1987, " I Really Give My Love ", created for Zhou Huajian , with the album sales in Asia exceeding one million copies.
In 1988, Xiao Chong created the theme song " I Like Crazy " for Taiwan's most popular movie "Seven Wolves".
Zhang Yusheng not only played the role in the movie, but also sang this theme song. The album bravely broke the 12-platinum sales record in the Taiwan music scene and pushed Zhang Yusheng to the throne of the golden boy in the music scene.
The little insect at that time was simply the golden finger behind Chinese pop music , the pillar of the rolling stone, and whoever I praises.
The melody he wrote always makes singers famous, and most of his works have been recorded in the history of Chinese pop music without any dispute.
In addition to the newcomer, he is also responsible for "re-cooking meat", allowing the silent singer "salted fish to turn over".
A song written by Xiao Chong for Zhong Zhentao is a gentle and beautiful, and a classic love song that has been sung for a long time.
was once popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even in the mainland, and spread throughout the streets and alleys.
A song "As long as you live better than me" successfully entered the Taiwanese music market for Zhong Zhentao, and started the second spring of his music career after Brother B's "Winna Five Tigers" solo.
and so many years later, when people who grew up listening to this song, they revisited this song, their eyes were blurred with tears, the past was vivid in their minds, and they felt immersed in that unforgettable period of life.
He has become famous veteran singers, and he can use his works to make them new breakthroughs and rejuvenate their careers for the second spring. This is actually more difficult than creating a new singer.
But Xiaozhu has succeeded many times. The works handed over by Xiaozhu are all classics of the times, which shows that their profound skills are.
By 1989, " Am I Your Beloved Person " was included in the album of the same name released by Pan Yueyun in in 1989. This song is one of Pan Yueyun's representative works.
That was when the little insect had not entered the music circle. He had just gone north and sent milk in the morning, then went to class again, and went out to teach piano at night.
For a while, Xiao Chong kept looking for a house outside, and found it very late every day.
One night, he was in the student rental area until very late. At about eight or nine o'clock, it was completely dark.
He could only rely on the light radiating from the window to find the way.
As he walked, he accidentally entered a deep alley. The end of the alley was dead. When he walked in, he saw an old lady, who was very old and sat at the door of his house to enjoy the cool air.
Xiao Chong asked, "Grandma, are there any houses nearby to rent?" The old Chong said, "Oh, house, let's do it. Look at the third door on the right, the green door. You go there and see, maybe there will be one." Xiao Chong said thank you politely, and then went there.
When Xiao Chong knocked on the door, an elderly old man rented a house for nearby students all year round.
lander old man lived alone, his wife had passed away, and his son died in the line of duty while serving in the military.
When the weather is good and there are clouds in the sky, move a stool to watch the clouds in the yard, listen to Pan Yueyun's " Everyday Sky Blue ", and say "clouds, clouds".
Later I learned that the old uncle's deceased wife had a word "cloud" in her name.
In this yard, there are three tenants and the landlord and the old man live in four people. There is only one kitchen in the whole yard, so sometimes the little insect will cook more when cooking, and ask the old man to come and eat.
After a long time, the old man will also make more things to call Xiaozhu.
Xiao Chong always remembered that when he first entered the old man's living room, there was only a large photo hanging in the entire living room. The old man said that the photo was his deceased wife.
Maybe it was because it was dark and I didn't see clearly. Xiao Chong shivered and said, "It was the old lady in the photo who guided me the way to rent a house."
The old uncle felt that this was destined by God, so he took care of Xiao Chong more like his own son until Xiao Chong graduated from university.
Xiao Chong entered the army to serve in the military after graduating from university.
After serving in the military service, he entered the record company. During that long period of time, Xiao Chong didn’t have time to find this old uncle.
Until Xiao Chong served as the producer of the album for the first time, and the singer was Pan Yueyun.
When the album was completed and not released yet, Xiao Chong took the album as soon as possible and bought a lot of gifts to visit the old uncle.
When I arrived, I realized that the old uncle had passed away for a long time and the green door had been painted in another color.
After Xiao Chong came back, he wrote this song "Is I the One You Love the Most" and added it to Pan Yueyun's album at the last moment.
Xiao Chong once said:
"I just imagined that he looked at Yun talking every day, as if he was chatting with his wife, 'I'm fine, am I the one you love the most.' So I wrote this song."
also officially won the second Taiwan [Golden Melody Award for Best Album of the Year] and [Golden Melody Award for Best Producer of the Year], and Xiao Chong was promoted to Asia's leading top producer.
1990, there were like Huang Pinyuan, Su Huilun, , Du Dewei, Lin Qiang, , Wan Fang, etc., and joined Rolling Stone Records and released their first album in their lives!
It was also in this year that Xiaozhu Chen Huanchang also joined the ranks of Rolling Stones, thus creating a glorious era of "Rolling Stones".
1992, Kwan Jinpeng filmed the movie " Ruan Lingyu ", inviting Xiao Chong to music for the movie and compose the theme song " Burial Heart ".
The original soundtrack of "Ruan Lingyu" is Xiao Chong's first attempt to complete the music creation of movies. He uses retro turntable sound effects and is paired with the minor tunes of early Chinese female singers. Its poignant tune reminds people of the sad and sad Ruan Lingyu at first hearing, telling the tragic legend of Ruan Lingyu who committed suicide because of the words of others.
The soundtrack and theme song of this movie were later shortlisted for the Hong Kong Film Awards, and Xiao Chong won these two awards in one fell swoop.
1994 "Love the Country and Love Beauty" was originally sung by singer Li Lifen and composed and written by famous musician Xiao Chong. It is one of the three main songs in her album.
Luo Dayou is as profound as a poet, Leehom is straightforward and warm inspiration, and Xiao Chong is the best spokesperson for love songs in the city.
Xiao Chong tailored two albums for female singer Li Lifen, both of which achieved unprecedented success.
One is " Smile Smile ", and the other is "Love the Country and Love Beauty". The lyrics and melodies are simple and popular, but the artistic conception is rich and grand. It sings a different Chinese classical charm with simple words.
At this point, "Love the Country and Love Beauty" can be regarded as the artistic peak of such music styles in the pop music scene.
The insect that was always classical and graceful hit the classical but not graceful Li Lifen.
The heroic and passionate voices of heroes sparked sparks like this. Looking at Hong Kong and Taiwan, there is really no singer suitable.
On singing, Li Lifen sang the woman's sighs and infatuation and the man's affection.
on the word "Talk", Xiaochuang writes about the transcendence of the hermit, the open-mindedness of the benevolent, and the desire of the wise.
really belongs to whoever it should be. No singer can sing that chivalrous spirit.
Later "The Smile" not only showed Li Lifen's voice, but also made a style, and became popular with the broadcast of "Tang Taizong".
The effort that the little insect polished by Li Lifen was like a rough stone turned into jade.
As if she hadn't encountered a little insect, Li Lifen was at most an excellent radio host, and no one would remember that she was also a singer.
For Xiao Chong's production career, I thought Li Lifen's music was the pinnacle of his works.
If the little insect made Li Lifen, then Li Lifen's special midrange also made the little insect famous.
Both of them have achieved [Rolling Stone].
Xiao Chong's music is undoubtedly very successful in business, but it still cannot keep up with Luo Dayou in terms of artistic height, and is also lower than Lee Zongsheng. Some people even say that he is the "godfather of swearing".
But Xiao Chong is an excellent Party B, with a very keen eye and can tailor-made hit songs based on the characteristics of the singer.
Writing a classic may not be the most difficult thing, but being able to write so many classics is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, right?
Rolling Stones have such a powerful musician to help, and it seems difficult to not be popular or popular!
Good music can withstand the abrasion of time and is timeless. When these classics echo in our ears again, some unintentional people and some unintentional things may also be awakened as the music plays. This is the irreplicable charm of classics.
Whether it is introducing RB through Du Dewei, infusing Chinese style, or taking the lead in investing in the field of film soundtracks, Xiaozhu will never meet the status quo in the music world.
He has been exploring where music can go and how it can be fantastic. These require the ultimate talent and the courage to face unknown challenges.
However, a music creator who has achieved such a high level of success in 2005, when Xiao Chong left the Rolling Stone, he encountered a dispute of hundreds of millions.
When Rolling Stone settled the royalties and handed over the accounts, it was only when it found that the finances were a bunch of bad accounts. The former assistant in charge of the money could not hand over the accounts, and he could not explain to the opening of multiple small bug accounts.
Xiao Chong revealed at the time that he had not received the millions of royalties that Hong Kong copyright companies should give him every year in the past 16 years.
In the end, Xiaozhu lost 300 million.
Perhaps it was because the blow was too heavy, which caused Xiao Zhu to not create a popular song after leaving the Rolling Stone, and it was rare to see him enter the audience's sight.
After the 21st century, Xiao Chong's creative pace slowed down significantly and he moved from Taiwan to Beijing.
After people reach middle age, their passion for creation is probably no longer the same as before. Even if there are occasionally works, there are rarely any popular golden songs that have been as widely influenced as before.
The era of Xiaozhu has passed, and the golden age of the Rolling Stone seems to have passed...
"Golden Finger in the Music World" Teacher Xiaozhu finally started to "stalk" life.
But no matter whether the insects are really gone or not.
The songs he once wrote have always been classics we like.
There may be a song about a little bug in everyone's heart.
