Discussion with Qi Qin begins in a photo. In the photo, he is wearing a long curly hair, wearing a leather jacket with rivets, holding a rose in one hand, exuding wildness and elegance.
When the reporter showed him this photo, he was surprised and seemed to see the old photos taken from the old yellow sand, sighing, "I'm so young and frivolous. Although I look a bit rustic now, it's still pretty good because I've lived a youth and pursued it."
interviewed Qi Qin, and he never needed an outline. He could ask anything and answer everything. In this industry with too many frames, the assistants and agents on the side were sweating. When asked, "Brother, many people ask you if you can still perm this hairstyle?" He smiled and waved his hand: "The hair volume should not work now (laughs). The hair volume is not enough. The perm may look like a chicken coop."
If you use it for ten years as the standard for dividing one generation, then Qi Qin can be regarded as a cross-age idol that has influenced two generations of people. He witnessed and accompanied the youth of generations with his singing, either clear, free and affectionate. "Now every time I look at the previous images, I feel it's good, as if it happened yesterday."
1 Being a singer is an accident. I didn't expect to be imitated by someone
"At that time, I liked you, so I learned that you wear leather jackets, leather pants, permed hair and sunglasses, which made my dad angry..." Qi Qin often heard people telling stories about imitating him when they were young. Every time I heard it, I was surprised, especially these admirers were in the mainland. At that time, it was not convenient to travel between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. So many people imitated his style: "It was not until 1991 that I found that many people had the same hairstyle as my hair, and occasionally saw photos of me posted at the door of the barber shop."
Qi Qin said that at that time, he had no idea about fashion, and never thought that he would lead the trend, so he wanted to create an effect that could shake his hair. Because I have watched many videos of foreign singers since I was a child, I learned to make styling with European and American singers on the record cover. My long curly hair and leather jackets are all based on my imagination of rock singers.
is like not knowing that he will be popular. Qi Qin also never thought of becoming a singer. Even in the years when he became popular, he felt that he was more suitable for behind-the-scenes work: "Before his debut, I also went to many restaurants to apply for waiters and had many turned away. When I heard that others sang well, I would try to see how the instruments and chords were made. Mainly because of Qi Yu, she sang "Olive Tree" at that time, and thought this job was good. In addition, she spent all the bonuses to buy a guitar for me, so I decided to study music hard." He thought for a while, and smiled and showed a row of white teeth: "Many things, you don't want them to be able to achieve them instead. This is fate."
2 I once doubted whether "About Winter" could be made into the movie
Of course, there are many other things that Qi Qin did not expect, including the movie "About Winter" that is being released. Rao Xueman, who has regarded him as his idol since he was 14 years old, never thought that one day he would really meet her idol 30 years later, and wrote a script for this song, adapted it into a movie, and invited the starring actors to tell love stories in winter and share the joys and sorrows of life. Rao Xueman said that the movie is almost called "The World Outside". "The guy has always doubted whether it can be truly made into a movie. He wanted to make the "The World Outside", which he liked more, but we rejected it. After all, "About Winter" is more popular. He used to think that the latter was ordinary, and he came back to listen to this movie after filming, and he also felt that he liked it more and more."
Qi Qin said that it was not easy to make a movie. "It is magical to turn a song into a story. Every time he created it, there will be a string of question marks. She (Rao Xueman) would use a concert as the background. We have never thought about it before."
Avoiding repetition and insisting on innovation is Qi Qin's persistence in artistic presentation. "I am actually not a person who likes memories, but a somewhat dreamy life is still beautiful. "Qi Qin said that many people are asking about his expectations for box office and his confidence in the cast. He said that this doesn't matter, the most important thing is to like it, "Having a box office does not mean liking it. If this movie can stay in everyone's hearts and make people interpret some love views, it will be more important than data. ”
3 That passionate love is still beautiful when looking back
In that era, Qi Qin was a rare singer-songwriter, and he contracted the lyrics, composition and singing alone. In 1985, the solo album " Wolf's Album " was released and became popular in Taiwan. Then his music traveled across the ocean and quietly flowed into the mainland. Anyone who is familiar with Qi Qin knows that there are too many in "About Winter" His shadow is even understood by the outside world as projecting the most famous relationship he once was. Until now, Qi Qin's name and interview seem to be unable to escape the three words "Honey Wong " .
986, when Wang Zuxian, who came to shoot the movie "Fragrant Grass and Blue Sky", just got off the plane and saw the "male character" waiting outside. Qi Qin had curly hair on her shoulders, loose jeans, and was not very tall. ht After greeting ml2, Qi Qin suddenly clumsily put a big wreath around Joey Wong's neck. The two looked at each other and were at a loss. Joey Wong, who was already allergic to pollen, thought, "Why is this person so simple and crude?", but no one expected that this unpleasant first meeting started a 15-year emotional entanglement. After the filming of
"Fragrant Grass and Bi Liantian", the two began a long-distance relationship, one of which was The new star in the music industry, one is a magnificent actor in the film industry. It is obvious that he is busy. When he is in a strong mood, he is struggling to separate the two places. In order to resolve his longing, Qi Qin created "About Winter", which only took 15 minutes.
Although they were unable to stay together forever in the end, Qi Qin did not shy away from this relationship. "My love was really not very smooth at the beginning, but I believe that love would not retreat because it was not smooth. "In the movie "About Winter", An Ran, played by Ma Sichun, also interprets the relationship journey of "love but not getting it, making people crazy". Qi Qin said: "That relationship between Zuxian would also feel very hard at the beginning. But looking back now, there are many times in life that are worth remembering and preserving. "
As for why people are talking about why they broke up, Qi Qin sighed, "At that time, everyone was very young, with a lot of uncertainty, and it was difficult to fully balance, and it was difficult to sacrifice themselves. Looking back now, I feel that memory is very beautiful. "
4 teases himself that it is not suitable for the entertainment industry
Many times, Qi Qin is really not like a celebrity, and he is unreserved from any problem. He joked that he is not suitable for this entertainment industry that needs to be reserved because of this.
generously admits his relationship when he is popular, and can express his feelings about the past, whether it is good or bad. Although he will be interpreted and evaluated by "taking advantage of popularity" and "no burden", Qi Qin is not troubled by public opinion. "After all, many things do not come from personal willingness. As a public figure, others will definitely dig your privacy, but maybe this is the real me and cannot escape. Even if some things may be negative teaching materials, it is also my past experience. "
In recent years, he occasionally showed his face in music variety shows, and even wanted to be a foil for some young singers. He wanted to support his younger generation more. When it comes to "outdated" and "age", he always thinks that everyone has experienced great success, but it is impossible to stay in that state forever. This will be very hard. He said that he is no longer young and just try to do something worthy and like to do: "On the one hand, the work pace may be slow, on the one hand, because of his laziness (laughs), in fact, he has also been hurt in his creation before. Every time he writes the song, he is said to be unsatisfied, and he is eventually asked to sing some songs, such as "Don't Let My Tears Stay with Me Overnight". In the past two years, I have paid more attention to self-expression works."
He said that the current pace of life makes him very comfortable. He creates and plays golf without filming, and is also a good "family husband": "When you have children, you often have to get up early to send them to class, and you will insist on exercising. Because you still have to walk more when you are old (laughs). Tennis, basketball, etc. are really not good at our age, so you can only walk and play golf. "
I can't be considered an "idol"
Beijing News: Some people say you are the kind of person who can make a living by your face, but you have to rely on your talent. Do you think this evaluation is appropriate?
-Is anyone really saying that? (Laughing) I have never been very concerned about my appearance. However, there were indeed idols in Taiwan at that time, such as Jimmy Lin and the Little Tigers, which are all idols, but I can't count them as No. Oral: Qi Qin
Maybe "About Winter" is better than down-to-earth
Beijing News: Over the years, "About Winter" has sung so many times, don't you feel tired of it?
-Frankly speaking, there was a period of time that was really "a bit tired of it", because "About Winter" is not the best song I think I have created. I prefer the more unpopular "Own Battlefield", even "Wolf" and "Outside" "About Winter" has a little more sense. "About Winter" is more ordinary and talks about lifelike things. At first I didn't expect this song to be valued by everyone. After this song became popular, I couldn't figure it out. After carefully analyzing it for so many years, it was probably because it was more down-to-earth and everyone could catchy; secondly, its intention was more popular, and it was very suitable for singing during breakups and partings, so it was very functional. Oral statement: Qi Qin
Everyone will be "killed" by later people
Beijing News: You always like to emphasize that you are "older", and many people will say "you are from that era" and "grow up listening to your songs since childhood". Are you afraid of getting older?
-No. Every singer will be very popular after debuting, and will definitely go downhill. You can't always be so popular, there will always be other newcomers coming out to kill you. In my era, someone would kill me occasionally, like Harlem Yu . Oral statement: Qi Qin
When I was young, I was very rebellious by my intuition and
Beijing News: You have always said that people have too many memories in their lives, and the movie also expresses the helplessness of each stage of life. Which period makes you the most helpless?
——"About Winter" has many other memories in addition to describing love. For example, what I did in the 1990s, and during the filming process, I will recall the experience of creating songs and go all the way What things will be left behind when I come here. Looking back, I see that many things are washed away by water, but they are generally very good. When I was young, I was definitely a rebellious type of people. At that time, I had no experience and judged many things with intuition. Later I realized that intuition may not necessarily solve the problem. Sometimes I need to look back and extend it. This is not helpless, but it must be experienced. Oral statement: Qi Qin
[Fresh Q&A]
Beijing News: You don’t make many movies, but you are going to be Is this new attempt more tiring than being a singer?
Qi Qin: Movies are collective creations, and we are all creators. When creating music, I can write whatever I want, but once it becomes collective creation, it is a kind of matching and fusion. At that time, it was a bit hard for us, but this time because it is "About Winter", I can't escape. I will take this opportunity to understand the feelings of collective creation, and then cooperate with each other to burst into sparks.
Beijing News: Do you love to support newcomers the most. Will you sing songs of popular singers in KTV?
Qi Qin: Those who are popular (singers) may not be able to learn it. In the past, they often sing songs of Huang Pinyuan , " How can you bear to let me be sad ", I sing his songs when I was heartbroken, and I feel a little crying. I also like "Crossing the Ocean to See You", I like Zong Sheng's songs, Dayou's songs, and I often sing songs of Amei .
Beijing News: What do you think of your biggest change in the years of your debut?
Qi Qin: I think the change is not too big. If there is any change, it may be that there is a family or a child. The focus of life is no longer like before, the whole family will not be hungry if they eat one person and you will have worries and care, and then you will have to give time to your family.
Beijing News: Then what kind of father do you think you are?
Qi Qin: More rational, not emotional, and not particularly irritable because of something. For my wife and children, I am older. To be an "older father", I must show my stability and lead the family in a good direction. I must never play or quarrel like before. I will no longer be young, nor like a young child.
