Welcome to follow Ms. Dong's column "Good Songs Dedicated to You"
Share classic songs, trace the past of music
Last year's Golden Song International Forum, the Chinese Godfather Lee Zongsheng once made a remark, saying that most of the content in the current music circle is garbage, and there are not many truly valuable things.
He said: I don’t care whether I make money or not, but I care more about whether there are good songs written and how much meaning the songs are to this era.
Lee Zongsheng even directly bombarded the record industry: taking the audience as a pig, and continuously outputting cheap feed to the audience!
The outspoken Lao Li tells the current situation of the Chinese music scene and expresses the voices of music listeners, but he is unable to change it. Fortunately, there are classic old songs to comfort you.
Today, Ms. Dong will remember the classics of Brother Qi Qin with you. You should know that the godfather Lee Zongsheng has always had a very high vision. Even the top singers in the music industry, such as Wang Jie, Zhang Yu , Zhang Yusheng , and Tai Zhengxiao , have never caught his eye. He refused one by one when he was queuing up to join Rolling Stone Records. Zhang Yu is an exception. He once worked at Rolling Stone, but he was always a production assistant under Lee Zongsheng. It was not until he left Rolling Stone that he had the chance to release a record, and he became very popular in the end. But Lee Zongsheng is generous in his reputation for Qi Qin , praising him for "having a good voice with gold edges". The reason is only due to his strength. Qi Qin debuted in the early 1980s and his famous work was "Wolf" in 1985. "I am a wolf from the north, walking in the vast wilderness." Anyone with a little experience can hum it. Nowadays, young people advocate "Ranning Song" on the Internet, but in fact this song is the "Ranning Song" from the 1980s. Brother Qi Qin has established a rebellious and lonely wolf image that gallops across the music scene. "Wolf" is also known as one of the enlightenment songs of mainland pop music and is a milestone in the Chinese music scene. Hong Kong's four heavenly kings can be regarded as an entertainment myth in the entire Chinese world. It has been in the army for nearly 30 years and is ranked first among Hong Kong's cultural symbols. It almost represents the entire Hong Kong entertainment circle when it was at its peak. Little did they know that the original intention of Hong Kong to organize the four heavenly kings was actually to compete with the "Taiwan version of the four heavenly kings" led by Qi Qin, and the Raptors crossed the river to get involved in the Hong Kong music scene. TV version of the four kings refer to: Qi Qin, Wang Jie, Tong Ange , Zhou Huajian . As the 1980s and 1990s changed, superstars such as Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Anita Mui and have withdrawn from the Hong Kong music awards ceremony. The Taiwanese team entered the Hong Kong music scene against this background and was in the limelight. In order to restrict the landing of Taiwanese kings and support local forces, the Hong Kong music industry has successfully fabricated the four kings. This small group enjoys the top luxury resources of Hong Kong in the 1990s, almost sweeping Hong Kong's big and small music awards. But whether it is Hong Kong or Taiwan, the only singer who can truly be called the enlightenment era, is Qi Qin. Qi Qin pioneered the "Wolf Era" in the 1980s is enough to match great singers such as Teresa Teng and Luo Dayou and . Even his outfits: leather jackets, sunglasses, explosive heads, and bell-bottom pants are all the objects of imitation for young people of that era. But heroes also have their own time, after all, thirty years Hebei has been in the east and thirty years Hebei has been in the west. Hunan Satellite TV's first " I am a singer ", the trophy of the King of Singers was originally tailored for Qi Qin. Unfortunately, the brother is no longer as brave as he used to be. His singing skills are too serious. In the end, the Yuquan brothers were given the advantage and picked up the "King of Singers". Qi Qin has reached this age, and it is understandable that it is not wrong to have a key concert and go out to make money from milk powder. But the most embarrassing thing is that he appeared on a variety show called " China Star " in 2015, and the price was dropped too much! "China Star" is produced by Canxing, which has created a series of programs such as " China's Voice ", "China's Got Talent", and "Masked Singer". The three so-called "superstar recommendations" in the program Liu Huan , Lin Yilian , Cui Jian , change the soup but not the medicine, but are actually the "mentors" in other programs. As a player, Qi Qin competed for the so-called championship quota with juniors such as Xu Zhian, Chang Shilei, Tan Weiwei, Jike Junyi, and other juniors. I remember the young man back then, who was a god-like existence in the music scene. Liu Huan, Cui Jian, and Lin Yilian on the mentor's seat could not be said to worship him. At least they were stacked together, and they could not shake the Qi Qin myth of that year! Cui Jian criticized Qi Qin for The people who often commented on Qi Qin on the program were Cui Jian and Liu Huan. When Qi Qin's "Wolf" became popular in the entire Chinese world in 1985, Cui Jian was still a trumpet musician in the Symphony Orchestra. It was not until the following year that he made a name for "Nothing" at the concert commemorating the International Year of Peace. Liu Huan commented on Qi Qin As for another mentor, Liu Huan, when he debuted, he was already a god in the music industry. I wonder if he remembered his "black history" of covering the great god 30 years ago. The arrogant and cold young man Qi Qin was not cater to him or pretended, his voice was flexible and powerful, his works were thoughtful and profound, passionate and creative. It is also the object of covers by mainland pop singers. Liu Huan is the best singer who stood out among the singers who "popularized" cover Qi Qin. 1987, Qi Qin once released a super classic album " Winter Rain ", which was a work of ambition in Qi Qin's "Wolf" era, and at the same time achieved unprecedented success in business. Qi Qin's creative level is fully reflected in this album, and he almost took over all the lyrics and songs. Such a classic work as must be the object of "paying tribute" by mainland singers who had not yet become civilized back then. Among them, the most fierce thing in "salute" to him should be Brother Liu Huan, who had a cover tape of "Dare to Love and Chase". Look at the track list of this tape and you will know it. Let’s talk about how classic Qi Qin’s “Winter Rain” is. It has dominated the championship of the “Chinese Golden Song Dragon and Tiger List” for seven consecutive weeks. and even the two songs "The Outer World" and "About Winter" later became almost the most widely circulated representatives of the golden songs of Qi Qin, and even became his symbols, which can be directly equated with Qi Qin's name. But in Qi Qin's mind back then, these two works were "replenishing works" in the album. "Winter Rain" plays an important role in the "wolf" era of Qi Qin's ambitious structure. The overall recording style is rebellious and rock-speaking. Due to the simple melody of "The World Outside" and "About Winter", they are used as small songs in the overall recording planning and are placed on the third song on both sides of the tape. Liu Huan is still a good person. When he covered Qi Qin, he placed "About Winter" as the main position of the first song on the A side, without wasting his talent. Little did you know that "About Winter" is one of the songs that Qi Qin felt that he was very unsatisfied! Because he took a very short time to get all the lyrics and music, it was simple for him. But it is the most resonant song among fans' feedback, so the contrast is huge. I will leave you gently Please wipe the tears from the corners of your eyes In the long night in the future Dear, don’t cry for me Qi Qin participated in Luyu’s appointment in 2015 and once talked about the origin of this song: "It took me 15 minutes to "About Winter". I never thought that the song would be loved by everyone. The lyrics and music are very simple, and the melody is also very simple. I think it is very unsatisfactory to write. I think it is just a very ordinary song." In fact, this classic "About Winter" is a song written by Qi Qin to Joey Wong. Although this relationship has not been able to achieve its true results, it is still the most beautiful memory. Like this classic song, it never fades. Qi Qin was surprised that this simple song could be sung as a classic. The main reason is that he described the situation of separation. Everyone will experience the complex mood of farewell, sighing that meeting will never happen, and parting will soon be about to leave. Although the road ahead is too sad Please bless me with a smile Although facing the wind and rain I am thinking of you in the wind and rain The timeless and deeply rooted love song, coupled with his unsuccessful love story with Joey Wong, making that long, graceful and beautiful winter the most classic romantic date in the Chinese pop music scene. Unfortunately, people who compose classics are almost unable to sing, but in the current music scene, no one can write such a melody that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
