In the recent "Time Concert", Xiao Ke, a famous musician in the mainland, was parachuted in as the new owner. Everyone sang his songs together, including the senior Tan Yonglin, who sang a song he composed, "The One Who Loves to Laugh The Most", to greet him.
Judging from many comments on the Internet, many people have watched this program to know that Xiao Ke actually has so many popular works, and he used to think that he was a song "Welcome to Beijing".
But no, the main reason is that "Welcome to Beijing" has too wide an impact, far exceeding the Beijing Olympic theme song "Me and You", so it is blinding and ignoring Xiao Ke's huge music portfolio.
I followed Xiao Ke's social account, in the first half of this year, I saw him frequently update small videos on it, every day in popular science which song is written by him, which song is written by him, the way and tone is still special Versailles, people are a bit unbearable. Anyway, this is all a fact, and the talent is there. It is also through his popular science that I have learned a lot of songs that I have heard or not heard before, which turned out to be written by him, and I can't help but be sincerely moved and admired.
Xiao Ke once said, "Others may think that writing songs is a talent, but I think that creation is more of a mind." But no, or maybe you will have all white hair at the age of 50.
There is no shortage of well-known classics in Xiao Ke's work library, so let's briefly review a few:
Xiao Ke graduated from the Music Department of Capital Normal University in 1994 and signed a contract with Red Star Production Society in 1995. "Homecoming" was the first work he wrote.
In that year, "Divine Eagle Hero" (Gu Tianle version) was introduced to the mainland, and "Homecoming" was used as the theme song of the mainland version, composed by Xiao Ke, and served as the supervising producer and producer. The song is sung by Hu Bing and Xi Linayi.
This time it was I who really decided to leave Stay away from the sorrows that you haven't understood for a long time Want you to forget your worries and forget your care Let go of this disturbance freely
With the popularity of "Eagle Man", the song was widely sung. The song is good, the mood is very beautiful, but I have not quite understood why I chose the male model Hu Bing to sing.
This is Xiao Ke's first golden song, but of course it is not his debut work. During his college years, he actively composed, formed his own band, and composed and arranged music for others.
In this issue of "Time Concert", Chen Ming sings "Wait for You to Love Me" without everyone knowing it. At that moment, people really had the urge to burst into tears. What a classic song that evokes the memories of many people. And this classic work is from Xiao Ke's work.
"Wait for You to Love Me" is the ending theme song and interlude of the 1999 hit TV series "Carry Love to the End", written and composed by Xiao Ke and sung by Chen Ming.
This song also has important significance for Chen Ming, and it is her third popular golden song after "Loneliness Makes Me So Beautiful" and "Happy Hometown", allowing more people to see the strength and charm of this southern national anthem.
Except for "Wait For You to Love You", all the soundtrack music in "Carry Love to the End" is composed by Xiao Ke, including "Distant Look", "Who" and "What Else Can I Do", sung by Xie Yuxin and Huang Qishan respectively.
As one of Taiwan's "Four Little Heavenly Queens" at the beginning of the 21st century, singer Xiao Yaxuan's famous work is "The Most Familiar Stranger" composed by Xiao Ke, and the lyrics are Yao Qian.
Released in 1999, the song is the title song of Xiao Yaxuan's first album, Xiao Ke created such a sad and unsinkable, melodic and unconventional work according to Xiao Yaxuan's vocal characteristics and singing strength, with dynamic arrangement, once launched, it was widely sung in Taiwan and the mainland, pushing Xiao Yaxuan to the position of a popular singer in one fell swoop.
In this episode, Xu Ruyun covered a version of "Want to Sing Me to You" in a completely different style, which is more intense and more electronic. She chose to sing this song to her girlfriend.
This song is the theme song composed by Xiao Ke for the first "National Campus Singers Television Competition" in 2004, which was sung by Xiao Ke and Lao Wolf, and later by the two of them plus Xiao Ke's two female disciples Wang Zheng and Cao Fang, and launched a 4-member chorus version.
The song continues Xiao Ke's consistent delicacy, from the arrangement to the singing is a typical campus folk style, full of youthful and romantic atmosphere. In 2007, the song won the first place in the "China Song Chart" of Beijing Music Station.
Give you a CD of the past Hear about our love at that time Sometimes it's suddenly forgotten I'm still in love with you...
At the Spring Festival Gala in 2012, Eason Chan sang a song "Because of Love" with Faye Wong, which touched hundreds of millions of Chinese. Since then, this song has swept China, and has won many awards such as the "Most Popular Golden Melody of the Year" at the CCT-MTV Music Festival, the "Best Chinese Song of the Year" at the Chinese Golden Melody Awards, the "Best Film and Television Song" at the Annual Festival of the Music Chart, and the "Best Choral Song Award" of the China Original Music Pop Chart.
This song is the theme song of the movie version of "Carry Love to the End". The film was released in 2011 as a continuation of the drama of the same name 12 years ago. And the theme song, naturally, is still written by Xiao Ke again. Facts have proved that Xiao Ke's production must be a fine product.
Xiao Ke composed and arranged the song "Because of Love", which is an echo of "Waiting for You to Love Me" that year, can hear the vicissitudes of the years that have been separated for decades, and feel the true meaning of love.
This time in the "Time Concert", Lin Zhixuan reinterpreted "Because of Love" and sang it with a different taste.
Eason Chan's "Steady Happiness" must be very familiar to everyone, and it was widely circulated in that year. But you don't necessarily know that this is another xiao Ke's creation.
Following the movie "Carry Love to the End", director Zhang Yibai directed another film in 2012, "The Night of the Village of Getting Better and Better", and invited Xiao Ke and Eason Chan to sing and partner to create the theme song of "Stable Happiness" for the film.
I want steady happiness Can be touched with both hands Reach into your arms every time There is your temperature
Xiao Ke's "Steady Happiness" conveys a simple sense of happiness, speaks the voices of countless ordinary people, and is very consistent with the film plot about the New Year of the common people. Eason Chan's singing, in a calm and elegant way, is the most likely to touch people's hearts.
This "Time Concert" Yu Kewei interpreted this classic, the singing is not bad, but the emotion does not exceed the original. I don't think she had a deep understanding of the song. From the previous reading of the letter, she said that she was urged to marry by her mother in 2013, and then related to this song, it is a little far-fetched.
Why "Beijing Welcomes You" was written by Xiao Ke is in itself a problem.
After this song was fired because of the Olympics, Xiao Ke was a god, but in fact, in Xiao Ke's heart, this song was not much different from his previous creations, but the applicable scenes were different. People only know this song and ignore his other works, and he also expresses understanding, this line is like this, fire is the truth.
After receiving the task of creation, Xiao Ke deliberately avoided the routine of writing such songs (that is, the kind of cheering songs that are passionate and progressive), and he hoped to express the heart and attitude of Chinese sincere and friendly, smiling and welcoming in the form of relaxed ballads, and to be handed over to so many different singers to interpret, then the tune can not be set too difficult.
This time in the "Time Concert", no one sang this really popular song "Welcome to Beijing", which is expected.
In addition to the above, there are many works of Xiao Ke, such as Tian Zhen's "Dream of a Thousand Autumn Families and Countries" is many people's favorite Xiao Ke works, as well as one of Zhou Bichang's masterpieces, "Who Moved My Strings", Chen Feiping's "How Far Is Forever", Yang Zongwei's "I Have Changed I Have Not Changed", etc., are all excellent works.
There are more unpopular works, it is difficult to make a detailed list, Xiao Ke himself has produced several works, but it is not as widely sung as the songs written for others. As Xiao Ke said on social platforms, he wrote so many songs that some of them even forgot about himself. Sometimes I hear a song, how is it a bit like my own song, take a closer look, hey, it really is!
It is not clear how many songs have been written, but from the perspective of the quality, style and influence of the works, some people call Xiao Ke "Li Zongsheng in the mainland", and it is not too much, he is undoubtedly one of the most powerful music creators in the mainland music scene, what do you think?
