"The wind stops here, the rain is silent here, and it laughs at my sentimentality." The shadow is with him, counting the past, how many years of happiness and sorrow." If you are a friend from the first decade of this century, you will not feel strange when you see this familiar lyric. This song is the song released by the "Philharmonic Orchestra" in 2005 - "Tianya".
2005 was still an era of chaos among the gods in the world of music. At that time, Jay Chou, Wang Lihong, S.H.E, Fei'er Band and other people were in the golden period of their careers, but it was such an era that the mainland group "Philharmonic Orchestra" quickly became popular all over the country with a song "Tianya", and its popularity could even be compared with the Fei'er Band at that time, which was called "Nanfei Northern Love" by the media.
But later, everyone must have found that the "Philharmonic Orchestra" that became popular overnight was like a short flower after a short burst of popularity, and quickly disappeared into people's sight.
Speaking of the "Philharmonic Orchestra", we have to mention the original lead singer of the group, Xu Li. The "Philharmonic Orchestra" of that year can be said to have been established under the hands of Xu Li, but when she was in the middle of the day, she made a jaw-dropping decision - abandoning the song and performing. "Philharmonic Orchestra" also quickly entered a period of decline after she left, and Xu Li's development in the show business circle over the years can only be described as tepid, so more than ten years later, when Xu Li looked back on her original decision again, did she regret it?
Because the style of the song is closer to Hong Kong and Taiwan, many people think that Xu Li is a Hong Kong and Taiwan singer, but in fact, she is an authentic mainland girl. Xu Li, a native of Anqing City, Anhui Province, graduated from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama, and the "Philharmonic Orchestra" that made her famous was also formed by her with another member, guitarist Wang Chao, during her college years.
Although he studied acting professionally, Xu Li has a creative talent that is different from ordinary people in terms of songs. Take the song "Tianya", which made her popular, for example, the lyrics of the song were arranged by her.
However, Xu Li's lyrics also belong to "catching ducks on the shelves", and after the creation of this piece was completed, he once specifically found the musician Fang Wenshan and invited him to fill in the lyrics for the song. However, due to Fang Wenshan's dedication to Jay Chou's album creation, he finally failed to find time to fill in the lyrics for the song, and Xu Li had to complete the lyrics of "Tianya" by himself in this case.
The success of "Tianya" for the "Philharmonic Orchestra" is visible to the naked eye, with this song, they won the second place in the 2005 China Song General Evaluation List, the third place in the MTV Station Glory List, the first place in the Chinese Song Chart, the first place in the Asia Pacific Chart, Xu Li himself, was also nominated for the Best Newcomer Orchestra Pepsi Music Awards best newcomer in the China Song Chart.
However, Xu Li's time in the "Philharmonic Orchestra" is extremely short, and many people will find that in 2006, the lead singer of the "Philharmonic Orchestra" has changed from Xu Li to Hu Lin. From the establishment of the orchestra to the departure of the orchestra, Xu Li only stayed in the "Philharmonic Orchestra" for about a year.
Many people are wondering why Xu Li left the "Philharmonic Orchestra" at the peak, in fact, the reason is very simple, Xu Li's initial interest was not in singing, and the direction she really wanted to develop was to be an actor.
As we mentioned earlier, Xu Li studied acting professionally, and when she was still in school, she had already participated in some film and television works. Although the song "Tianya" brought her great achievements, Xu Li never forgot her ideals, and after strengthening her faith, she finally left the "Philharmonic Orchestra" at her peak.
But how many bumps in the middle of jumping from one circle to another? Counting down, Xu Li has been an actor for more than ten years, but in the film and television performance, she has never been able to come up with a work comparable to the popularity of "Tianya". Although the Philharmonic Orchestra has replaced the new lead singer, Xu Li's departure has hit the group hard, and after "Tianya", the group has not been able to come up with works that can surpass this piece.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with a person having ideals, so in this regard, we must understand Xu Li. Although she has not been able to achieve the same achievements as the singers in the field of acting, I believe that she must have enjoyed herself when she participated in film and television performances.
Therefore, instead of regretting Xu Li's departure at the beginning, we should look forward to her being an actor, and perhaps in the near future, she can come up with a blockbuster film and television work, just like "Tianya" in that year.
