Unconsciously, 2019 is nearing its end. Throughout this year, the demographic dividend period of the group draft seems to have passed, and the ratings of major veteran music variety shows have declined.
The market choice of "traffic or strength" is becoming more and more lamentable, and the concerts of the "emotional veterans" in the song world are one after another, whether it is Jay Chou or Lin Junjie, there is always someone in the circle of friends to punch the youth.
Some people choose to go to a concert as their farewell to youth. But there are also people who regard concerts as a farewell ceremony for their careers. This farewell, Fei Yuqing prepared for a long time and sang for a long time.
Fei Yuqing is an artist of the last era, full of old-school style, used to treat the audience as guests, and lowered himself on the stage. Nowadays, it is difficult to see this noble conservatism in the artists hatched in the industrial chain.
Fei Yuqing has been singing on stage for forty-seven years. His road to art has always been smooth, and his brother and sister have long been famous in the entertainment industry. The elder brother is Zhang Fei, the big brother of variety shows in the entertainment industry, and the sister Fei Zhen Aya was originally a famous star, and then escaped into the empty door.
At that time, Fei Yuqing, who also used the original name "Zhang Yanting", participated in a singing competition, and a song "Smoke and Rain Slanting Sun" made him start to emerge in the entertainment industry. As early as the 1980s, he and Pan Anbang called the "double male" of the music world.
Under the introduction of his sister, Fei Yuqing met the noble man in his career: Liu Jiachang. Appreciated by the godfather of the music world, the little brother shined even more on the star journey after that.
"Dream Camel Bell", "A Cut of Plum", "Goodnight Song" and other works are widely circulated, Fei Yuqing will be the Golden Melody Award, Golden Tripod Award and other awards are in the pocket, at that time Fei Yuqing even with Teresa Teng Lijun.
Fei Yuqing became famous when everyone knew, and the "Thousand Miles Away" cooperated with Jay Chou once again made him famous. At that time, Jay Chou admitted that he and his mother liked Fei Yuqing very much and admired him for many years.
In the process of preparing the song "A Thousand Miles Away", the first partner that Jay Chou thought of was Fei Yuqing. This cooperation made Fei Yuqingzheng popular again and became a national singer.
The two people who seem to have different styles have collaborated on a classic work of national style pop music, and Fei Yuqing's strength is self-evident.
Not only is he extremely talented in music, but his sense of variety is also famously liked.
As early as 1995, he won the Golden Bell Award for Best Variety Show Host that year with the program "Dragon and Tiger Brothers" hosted by his brother Zhang Fei. Whether it was in Taiwan or later in the mainland, the variety shows were very popular.
In the program, he was interested in "driving", so everyone gave him a name of "Fei Yu pollution". Driving on the stage to tell a paragraph seems to be an immodest move, but in Fei Yuqing, it has become another of his likable characteristics.
In Fei Yuqing' body, it can be seen that the artists of the older generation pay the most attention to the whole face of Zhou under the spotlight. His farewell is watertight, as can be seen in the details of his career.
On stage, he said, "Thank you gentlemen and ladies for listening" and "I'm sorry to let you spend money."
At the farewell concert, he said he had no children, and fans said "you and us" below. Fei Yuqing replied, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be", and the respect and restraint of the point so far constitute a decent farewell.
However, not every old-school singer's farewell is as unhurried as Fei Yuqing'. Others will choose to leave by "waving their sleeves without taking a cloud with them.".
Liu Wenzheng is such a person, Fei Yuqing once said to him: You will always be the goal and direction I catch up with.
Mention the name Liu Wenzheng, today's young people may feel very strange. But if you go back to the 1970s and 1980s, Liu Wen is a veritable emperor superstar, but he chooses to retreat and leave at the peak of his career.
Liu Wenzheng, with his sudden and resolute departure, turned himself into an eternal myth and puzzle.
At the beginning, Liu Wenzheng, like Fei Yuqing, was also favored by Liu Jiachang, and then entered the development of the record company. "Orchid Grass", "Country Road", "Little Rain in March", "Grandma's Penghu Bay", are all classic masterpieces of Liu Wenzheng.
These school songs full of youth have also swept up a strong trend in the mainland music scene, and sometimes there is a saying that "men learn Liu Wenzheng, and women sing Teresa Teng".
Not only in the music world, Liu Wenzheng also became the best choice for the public lovers in the literary and artistic films of that year with his tall and handsome image, and the female stars who played with him from Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao to Hu Yinmeng and Zhang Aijia, each of whom was a well-known actress.
Unlike Fei Yuqing, Liu Wenzheng has never lacked topics. The campus songs carried forward on him, and he was on a par with Teresa Teng and had a profound influence on the pop music scene. But he chose to retire from the heyday of his career, leaving his most perfect side to his fans.
His resolute style showed signs in the early days of his career.
Liu Wenzheng and Lin Qingxia starred in the movie "Love Run", invited Luo Dayou to participate in the soundtrack, and composed four songs. Among them, "Love Run" and "The Wind Blows Softly" were sung by Liu Wenzheng into popular golden songs.
But the song "When the Wind Rises in September", Liu Wenzheng is not satisfied with his interpretation. Not being able to fully exert the temperament of this song is the most intolerable thing for Liu Wenzheng.
Since then, he has never sung this song again, until his disciple Wu Qixian sang it, and he did not get his approval.
An artistic attitude of vigorous pursuit of perfectionism, a song waiting for the right voice to sing himself, seems to be a metaphor for Liu Wenzheng's path to the music scene.
When the scenery was infinitely good, he was willing to retreat behind the scenes to start Flying Eagle Records. In the 1990s, when the record company was in full swing and his singing career reached a new peak, Liu Wenzheng completely withdrew.
Luo Dayou also commented on Liu Wenzheng: He is a natural superstar idol, and there has been no such idol before this. He is not very clear about his charisma, has a strong sense of narcissism, and is a perfectionist. When he feels that the environment is not good, he prefers to disappear completely.
Fei Yuqing and Liu Wenzheng, two different farewells, the former is like the bright moon breeze, will not stay for whom, but also tell you do not have to chase; the latter is like a firework in the night, brilliant yearning for a moment of eternity. Behind these two very different styles, there is the same respect for the stage.
Because of respect, Fei Yuqing personally wrote a long letter when he deliberately retreated: the gorgeous stage makes me feel more lonely, the applause cannot fill my loss, going to any performance location makes me feel sad, I know that it is time for me to stop.....
He knew that if he continued to maintain his superficial investment, he would be betraying the stage and betraying the audience. So, he chose to stop and continue his life journey elsewhere.
And Liu Wenzheng's resolute determination is not only to leave the most perfect self to the audience as people see, but also to choose to leave the most moving period of the Chinese music scene in his heart forever.
The respect of these two singers for the stage comes from the nourishment of the times.
Today's concert word has long been different, whether it is a fledgling traffic singer, an overnight celebrity or even a virtual singer, there is a chance to hold or participate in a concert.
It is true that the development of entertainment has brought a lot of opportunities, but the boom of entertainment supremacy and consumerism may not find its place for singers who have artistic dignity and cherish their feathers.
But the fresh faces who quickly became popular and overdrafted their future under the pressure of the Internet's renewed daily renewal did not seem to have a chance to consider whether they could leave with dignity.
Fei Yuqing said goodbye, an era is gradually drifting away, and all we can do is blessings.
