Not long ago, at a party, Sa Dingding, who had not appeared for a long time, was invited out of the mountain.
The whole party did not invite any traffic stars, she appeared as the finale, and she seemed to be the most familiar "big name" for the audience.
At the scene of the performance, she threw away the most dazzling national style of bumping into the godmother before, wearing a dress that imitated the noble concubines of the Tang Dynasty, dressed in a costume, her face was dotted with several blue bird totems, and the clear and distant voice hummed the song "Ask the Wine to the Moon".
The song was adapted by Ma Jiuyue from the Dunhuang murals, and the lyrics were filled in by the poet Li Bai, and the modern and classical collided with each other, as if it were a prosperous event that traveled through time and space.
At the moment when she stood in the center of the stage, the identity of the star seemed to be forgotten by her, like a singer who came out of the mural, the sound was like a heavenly sound, and the shallow chant sang the prosperity and decline of the Taiping Dynasty.
At this time, she seems to have found a magical sense of self-consistency in the collision of the stage.
A few days after the party, the CCTV media publicly called Sadingding a "singer" in a promotional copy.
From the "eight-line artist" who was initially intimidated to the "singer" with four sonic shocks, the private life of the odd woman Sading has always been low-key and mysterious, what kind of life experience is behind this mystery?
A few years ago, when Xiao Sa's fake singing was popular, Venus had publicly teased on his own program -
"Sa Top? Wasn't that the Shandong girl who climbed over the wall in the middle of the night with her agent to find my Shandong girl? When did you become a minority? ”
After saying that, I also deliberately compared the anti-microphone with a few strokes, meaning that you don't love false singing? But my Venus prefers to tell the truth.
After the show was broadcast, she did not give Venus face, and replied on the personal platform: "A person can even change his gender, what else can't be changed?" "The two of them are talking and talking, and neither of them looks like a fuel-saving lamp."
In fact, Xiao Sa's bloodline is indeed a bit complicated, looking back on her childhood, she may not be able to tell whether she is a minority or not...
Originally known as Zhou Peng, her ancestral home is indeed in Shandong, but she was born in Pingdingshan, Henan, her father was Han Chinese, and her mother and grandmother were Mongolian.
Young Sa followed her grandmother to live a free and free nomadic life in the north, but the green plains and the white sheep still could not dispel the doubts in her heart - who am I? Where did I come from?
At that time, she was most afraid of the teacher to let fill her own ethnicity, Mongolia? Han Chinese? Monhan? What a head two big!
Of course, this is only a small annoyance of the young girl Zhou Peng, and there is a bigger trouble is her name... Every time the teacher roll called, she would be ridiculed by the collective group of classmates, saying that her name was indistinguishable, and also gave her a nickname called "Oriental Undefeated".
From elementary school to high school, other people's youth is spent in early love, but what about her? Either in the name change or on the way to change the name.
To this end, she also learned to lie, telling the teacher that she had changed her name a long time ago, but the hukou book had not been changed!
Therefore, I advise parents, do not be too casual when naming children, do not move what "eggs" and "dog leftovers", now some people name pets are eager to check the "Encyclopedia Dictionary", not to mention pro-children?
Then again, the outlet that allowed Xiao Zhou to escape the "death of the name change" was singing and dancing.
Born in the mountains, she was born with a clear and distant voice, often singing one unknown mountain song after another to the heavy mountains in the distance, like a brisk lark that shuttles freely through the mountains.
When Grandma was young, she was a Mongolian girl who could sing and dance, and Xiao Sa also inherited the good genes of the family, almost without a teacher, and she was free to swing all kinds of dance moves, and every time her little granddaughter heard the sound of dancing, Grandma would sit quietly and grin, as if she was recalling the past Fanghua.
That period of growing up freely on the northern grasslands was the most carefree life of the young girl Zhou Peng, and also shaped her free and uninhibited character and unique and broad voice. I remember that she later wrote a poem "Free walking flowers", which is probably the best interpretation of this free and easy life.
After graduating from high school, Xiao Zhou was admitted to the Music Department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, focusing on popular singing and taking an elective composition.
Although the name has not yet been changed, the field girl who walked out of the grassland was instantly attracted by the traffic of the city, and the rich artistic atmosphere in the school also made her forget this little trouble for a long time and indulge in the music world.
An unrealistic dream, quietly taking root in her heart...
In 2000, Zhou Peng, a young literary and artistic woman, signed up for the "CCTV Young Singers Television Grand Prix" at the instigation of her friends.
At that time, she could not wear makeup, did not understand the ethnic language, like thousands of ordinary college students, standing on the stage a little green, her legs and stomach were still trembling. But as soon as the music sounded, the voice poured out, and the unique singing voice suddenly surprised the judges' ears.
That year, she successfully won the Silver Award for Popular Singing all the way through the barriers, and was also named "the most favorite singer of the national audience".
Originally a small test of the bull knife, did not want to become famous in a war, this slightly rustic college student at that time was recognized by the national audience for the first time, and tasted the wonderful taste of being a "star".
At this time, a music company threw an olive branch and wanted to sign her to become a professional singer, and she immediately took over this seemingly easy, but in fact hard-won precious opportunity.
She is a country girl who came out of the field, and although she can sing and dance for generations, she has always stopped at the mountains and rivers. Now she has the opportunity to stand on a bigger stage and let more people know herself, which is a great honor for her and her hometown.
In 2001, she became an artist under the Qiansi Culture Communication Company and released her debut album "My Own Beauty".
The song "Bang Bala" in it is the main song tailored by the company for her, with a unique voice and a somewhat strange style, this song once became a popular brainwashing divine song.
Even at the Spring Festival Gala in 2002, Zhou Peng, as a newcomer, was invited to sing this song, which shows that she is also a clear stream of the year and has attracted much attention.
In just two years, this young female singer named "Zhou Peng" appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage twice in a row, which shows that the first half of this road to fame did go smoothly, much luckier than many musicians in the same period.
But the road to success is like a marathon, the first half of the run too fast, the middle is easy to get stuck.
Although she won many awards in those years, she always felt that she was eating the old book and taking the old road, without any pioneering and innovation. Even at one point, she fell into the embarrassing situation that the singer was not red.
In fact, it is no wonder that when you open the search engine and enter the word "Zhou Peng", there are tens of millions of "Zhou Peng" in the country, and who will remember the female singer who is not conspicuous on the stage?
A good name is important to an artist, strength determines how far you go, and a name determines whether you can be impressive.
So in 2005, she made another bold decision.........
To say the origin of the name "Sa Ding Ding", it is actually not complicated. Like many things that seem to mean a lot, they often have the simplest explanations.
"Sa" is her grandmother's surname, "Dingding" is her nickname, late one night in 2005, the artist Zhou Peng decided to change the name to "Sa Dingding", this somewhat strange name but let the audience shine.
In fact, Xiao Sa is smart, if you want to highlight yourself in the crowd, not only by strength, but also need enough characteristics of the "label", if you do not have a stunning appearance, then you must have your own unique aura will not be lost in the crowd.
Changing her name, just the first step she took to break through herself and discover herself...
This field girl who grew up freely on the grassland, there are both the stubbornness of the Shandong people, the boldness of the northeast people, and the courage of the Mongolians, which are mixed together, and they are the top of the music world.
After a short period of confusion, she clearly found her own position - abandoning popular singing, changing to a national singing voice, and changing her Baidu encyclopedia to Mongolian.
After she had been confused for a long time, her aura opened up after clarifying the direction, and the talent she had accumulated for a long time burst out in an instant.
In 2005, a song composed by herself and written by Gao Xiaosong turned out to be a song with Sanskrit and Chinese blended, and the style was both national and modern, with a magical sense of traveling through time and space. This song was very popular and was called the second divine comedy after "Nervous" by the media.
Her enchanting and flexible national singing voice was imitated for a time, but it could not imitate her unique charm, and the media commented that the range of the top of the sa top was wide and there was no upper limit, and the high and low flow could be controlled, and this unique voice and singing ability could be called a "rare variety" in the music circle.
In addition to the singing voice is very different from before, her costume style has become more and more thunderous, almost every performance will be carefully matched with a variety of strange national costumes, heavy eyeshadow and exaggerated makeup almost make people unable to distinguish her own appearance and age, coupled with a demagogic voice, by netizens affectionately known as "godmother top".
However, Xiao Sako does not care about these, the more fiercely the sarcasm of others, the more exaggerated her shape, it seems that the stage is regarded as a walking performance art, and singing is her ultimate purpose of expression.
Indeed, every time a new song is released, it is like an auditory feast, and the high-pitched voice makes people get goosebumps, which is really not something that ordinary people can imitate.
After the release of "All Things Are Born", not only the domestic singing degree is extremely high, but even the major music platforms abroad have also appeared in its figure, and the KTV box of that year can always hear a variety of broken versions of this song, knowing that the strength of your sister cannot be imitated, and there are always people who want to roar a few voices and step on the thunder.
In 2005, Sa Dingding was named "Asia's First Singer" by the "BBC World Music Awards" and was invited to participate in the "Grammy" Music Awards, becoming the first Chinese singer to be invited at that time.
From the field to the public, from domestic to international, Xiao Sa's road to popularity seems to be rising. But an embarrassing accident not long after almost killed her musical dreams in her own hands.
In 2016's "Starlight Lantern Festival Gala", Xiao Sa sang a song "Big Name", the song is still the same, melodious flow is like being in a concert, the lighting and dancing and ethereal atmosphere will be set off by the scene like a picturesque, the audience is also intoxicated in it quietly appreciate, at this time I don't know which way the immortals pulled the camera infinitely closer, and everyone found that Xiao Sa took the microphone backwards!
Although her singing strength is not false, this fake singing is also real! And it was collectively grabbed by billions of viewers! It can be said that it is a shame to be thrown to my grandmother's house...
After the end of the show, Xiao Sa was "collectively beaten" by all netizens, and the crusade was like a tide, but the top remained mysterious as before and refused to apologize! Just on the personal account, he replied lightly - "Don't scold, next time the performance is more refined, everyone is discouraged." ”
Such a humble response, I am afraid that in the showbiz circle Xiao Sa is definitely counted as the first person, netizens seem to punch a lonely, collectively blindfolded...
She didn't care about the subsequent plummeting popularity, as if she was provoking the media - if you can't step on me, you will definitely make me stronger in the future.
The stubbornness in the bones of this mountain girl seems to have never changed, although she has tasted the taste of popularity, but she seems to be able to see through and indifferently to the later silence, she is unwilling to bow her head, preferring to carry the previous aura into the audience's memory.
Although Venus later openly satirized her on the show, and said that her song "All Things Are Born" was originally called "All Things Grow", which was changed by her own guidance, and laughed at her for doing whatever it took to be red, but the top was not assured, and the "false singing door" gradually came to an end with her silence.
In 2017, after a year of silence, she suddenly returned with the theme song "Left Finger Moon" of "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost".
The audience was surprised, but also even more amazed by her singing voice.
After a year of precipitation, her voice seems to be more atmospheric and elegant, that kind of penetrating breathtaking is probably only the top of the sand can do, compared to the audiovisual enjoyment she brings to the audience, what are the mistakes made before?
What is even more surprising is that she has faded her previous exaggerated makeup and costumes and changed to a more gentle national route, seemingly finding a reconciliation between "self-balancing".
Later, after listening to "Left Finger Moon", Han Hong said: "The singing voice of Sa Dingding, even I can't copy it. ”
Some people speculate that perhaps it was the false singing storm that made her start another reconciliation between herself and the stage, thinking back then, she only changed herself to highlight herself.
Nowadays, she may have found herself and does not want to deliberately express herself with "different", and now she can be regarded as a real "vocal unity" and deserves to be considered a "singer".
After fading away from the glitz, the real music road may have just begun.......
postscript
In fact, a large part of the success of The Top of The Sanding comes from non-reproducibility.
Her style, her voice, including her maverick personality, no one can imitate, which is what makes her unique and intelligent.
In the complex showbiz circle, there is no outstanding appearance, it is difficult to think of the circle by strength alone, if this is for the sake of red "unscrupulous", then I am afraid that no one in the world is eager to succeed anymore, right?
A person's styling and costumes are the embodiment of their own personality, perhaps the real Sa Dingding, just like the song "Free Walking Flowers" - there is nothing strange, she just wants to be free, singing and dancing, no worries...
