When it comes to Ren Xianqi, most people will definitely have some pictures about music and martial arts in their minds: it is a handsome little brother who plays a guitar and sings "The Girl Across the Road", and it is also a chivalrous male protagonist in Jin Yong's pen. On his musical path, there are not only flowers and applause, but also love and persistence.
At 20:10 on November 12, the variety show "Time Concert" created by The Golden Production Team of Hunan Satellite TV - Ren Yang team ushered in the fourth phase of broadcast, and 6 "Time Musicians" Tan Yonglin, Lin Zhixuan, Xu Ruyun, Zhang Jie, Phoenix Legend, Yu Kewei and "Time Friends" Ren Xianqi and Wang Sutaki will newly interpret Ren Xianqi's classic songs.
In an interview with the media, Ren Xianqi said that he hopes that netizens can give singers more time while brushing up on good music in short videos, so that singers can sing well to everyone to listen to the stories they want to express.
In 1987, Ren Xianqi, who had just entered the university, found a job in the musical instrument industry with his love of music, and learned guitar while working. After saving a little savings, Ren Xianqi formed a band as a guitarist and lead singer. Later, he also worked as a campus DJ and participated in hundreds of campus singing.
In 1990, Ren Xianqi was discovered by the 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 grew famous, the company faced bankruptcy. In the end, "five sets of tables, one singer", Ren Xianqi and the table and chairs were "sold" to Rolling Stone Music. For the next three years, Ren Xianqi did not get the opportunity to launch a new album, and was included in the list of terminated singers every year, and it was the producer Xiao Worm who left him behind by public opinion. In the three years of unambitiousness, Ren Xianqi did not go with the flow, on the contrary, he insisted on writing lyrics and composing music in the office every day, and quietly practicing internal skills.
In June 1996, the 30-year-old Ren Xianqi released his first solo album "Rely on" at Rolling Stone Music with the help of Bugs, which eventually sold 160,000 copies. At the end of the same year, Ren Xianqi waited for his tailor-made album "Heart Is Too Soft", which created a 26 million sales legend. Since then, Ren Xianqi has opened his own peak decade. In 1998, he released the album "Love Like Pacific", which sold more than one million, and the song "The Girl Opposite Looks Over" became a household name, and the following year he debuted on the Spring Festival Gala stage with this song. At the same time, Ren Xianqi's "film and television songs" are also widely circulated, and Ren Yao, Sad Pacific, Spring Flowers will bloom, and so on have a very high national popularity.
In the 31 years since his debut, whether it is in the face of flower applause or the thorny valley, Ren Xianqi's love for music has only increased. In the fourth issue of "Time Concert", the powerful singers will also say that it is difficult to say "Tianya", "Ren Yao", "The heart is too soft", "Very hurt", "I am a fish", "Spring flowers will bloom", "Sad Pacific", "The girl opposite looks over" and other eight classic works of Ren Xianqi.
In Ren Xianqi's mind, which song of his own is the most difficult to change?
"Personally, I think it should be Sad Pacific because it's more masculine than a man, so I'm also looking forward to someone helping me with more different perspectives this time." Ren Xianqi said that he wanted to invite Zhou Huajian, Li Zongsheng, Du Dewei, Huang Pinyuan and other friends to reunite and hold a music old friends meeting, "I want to organize a group of good friends of the Rolling Stones and also set up a music old friends association." That must have been wonderful. ”
"I want to describe 'Time Concert' in terms of warmth, purity and emotion." Ren Xianqi said that without competitions and competitions, musicians get together like family, which also makes them pay more attention to the music itself and the spiritual core that the singer wants to express in a stress-free environment, "This way of singing friends makes people very relaxed and happy, which reminds me of before, we were all like a big family in that period." ”
In the third program, Ren Xianqi adapted the Phoenix legend's "Free Flight", but he did not use the previous competition-oriented adaptation mode to amplify the rhythm of the song and add technical interpretation, but combined the chivalrous spirit he understood with the ethnic minority characteristics contained in the song. "I wanted to make it a little slower, using the vastness of the grassland to interpret the feeling of floating with the wind and the world."
With the change of the times, the transmission carrier of music has also changed. At present, short videos have become the publicity platform for many songs, often intercepting the climax of the song for dissemination, although this form of communication can make the song popular rapidly, but there is still a possibility of splitting the song expression. In this regard, Ren Xianqi also expressed his views in the interview: "In the past, when we were in production, the prelude should be regarded as a prelude to a story. A prelude is important if the story is to be presented in its entirety. He hopes that while the short video brushes up on good music, it can give the singers more time, so that the singers can sing well to everyone to listen to the stories they want to express.
