In my memory, I haven't had a variety show that I could get together with my parents in front of the TV and watch the opening and ending of the film for a long time.
"Time Concert" is such a treasure show that young people will not feel bored and parents will not feel noisy.
"Time Concert" invites Tan Yonglin, Lin Zhixuan, Xu Ruyun, Phoenix Legend and other cross-era powerful singers and top bands to sing live. Each issue will select one of the guests as the owner, and the others will choose to sing a song of their favorite owner and write a letter to tell the story of what happened in the year of the song's release.
"The window is deeper and heavier, and tonight the flowers are falling into a mound."
"Once the flowers bloom and the willows bloom, the incense is mistakenly looking for the pavilion."
Classic songs are accompanied by stories that tell, and time will eventually gather into a river, slowly flowing from one generation to another.
"I will love you well, love you stupidly, and not think about fairness and unfairness."
Recently, a duet has allowed viewers to inadvertently follow along gently. This song is the "Engagement" that once swept the streets and alleys, from the 60s to the 90s, which can sing two sentences, and its singer is Zhou Hui.
Back in the late 1990s, Zhou Hui, who had just graduated from college, recorded her first album with her pocket money. Who knows, such an album surprised the well-known musician Ji Zhongping, and Zhou Hui got the opportunity to contact the music company.
In 1999, Zhou Hui became a hot singer with her first solo album "Zhou Hui Selection", and "Engagement" spread throughout the streets. At that time, album covers were generally photos of themselves, and it was refreshing that Zhou Hui rejected this traditional option of using her own animated image as an album cover.
Hit the iron while it was hot, and in the next two years, Zhou Hui achieved other masterpieces: "I want to love you well", "How precious tonight" and so on.
But Zhou Hui, who should have been smooth sailing and sat firmly on the throne of the Queen of Heaven, was joked by life.
In 2004, Zhou Hui was sold to a new company by her most trusted master. The new company did not care about her, and there was still an old owner behind her to pursue compensation. Because of the contract dispute, Zhou Hui's working hours in the past 5 years have been at a standstill.
Life does not stingy to give people tears, this is just the beginning of Zhou Hui's fall at the reddest moment. Because she likes to be quiet, Zhou Hui decided to return to life with her boyfriend who had been in love for many years, but her boyfriend taught Zhou Hui what betrayal is.
Some people are trapped in the same place and can't walk out, some people wave their hands and throw themselves into the next hug, and Zhou Hui, who is too late to breathe, has received another bad news - his father has died of a serious illness.
The triple blow of work, love, and family has caused Zhou Hui to fall into depression. In the studio, she needs to sing every song with full emotion; when she comes home, she has to be the pillar of her mother with a strong smile... Zhou Hui, who already likes to be quiet, is even more lazy to talk to others, and she is not interested in anything.
In the midst of hardship, there is more confusion and resentment.
Until the new album "Sudden Law" in 2020, everyone realized that Zhou Hui was "alive". She expressed in an interview that she wanted to show an upward attitude towards life that an independent woman presented after accumulating experience through this album: "If you are also at the trough of life, I hope that this kind of music can help you get through it." ”
Now, Zhou Hui, who is not confused forty, laughs and says that the relaxed mentality makes it easy to do anything. Many of the moods cannot be experienced in any way at the age of twenty or thirty, and this album is more like about the scenery seen after crossing the mountains.
Occasional fitness every day, focusing on a simple salad dish... Zhou Hui finally sang in her song, "Carry your bags and let the memories go lightly." ”
In the end, it is just to live slowly, insist on love, and music will not give up Zhou Hui, just like Zhou Hui will not give up music.
Zhou Hui is actually a little confused, she is confused about why the current music scene no longer needs people who concentrate on writing songs, and now more and more singers are not working in the song itself, but constantly marketing their lives.
For Zhou Hui, who does not want to use social software at all, this is really impossible for herself. Although she is also trying to adapt, Zhou Hui still wants to insist on doing her own things. Because songs that catch fire in the online world in 5 seconds will also be completely silent after 5 days.
"I feel that these things should be left to the listener's own judgment, but I still insist on walking my own path and making some music that can be left behind."
Zhou Hui's story reminds many people of another singer who became popular in 1999 - Jin Haixin. Her debut solo album "Wake Up Your Ears" released in 1999 was a great success, not only winning the Silver Award for Best Newcomer of the Central People's Radio and Television Station for this album, but also on the spring festival gala stage that many people dreamed of in 2000.
"The park is going to be demolished, don't tear down the memories, why not use the song to excerpt your diary."
In 2000, Li Manting, a well-known lyricist who wrote lyrics for "Wake Up Your Ears", once again created another hit song "So Proud" for Jinhai. One song is enough for people to remember her name, thus establishing Jin Haixin's position in the Chinese music scene.
Jin Haixin shows the image of a new urban girl in the MV, which is eccentric and at the same time, has the sensitivity and faint alienation of a girl. This image, more than 20 years ago, gave people enough freshness.
"Oops, I fell into it earlier than you, you loved less than I did, and you were doomed to suffer."
Destined to suffer, Jin Haixin may not have thought of such a starting point, just to fall more painfully in the future. Jin Haixin, who was also once regarded as a diva, why is it an unpopular singer that young people rarely hear about today?
In 2002, Jin Haixin resolutely left Sony and joined Warner.
At that time, Warner was really able to fight: Sun Nan, Na Ying, Park Shu, and Old Wolf were all gathered here, but because it was a company where the immortals fought, It was difficult for Jin Haixin to become a strong target. What surprised her even more was that from Sony to Warner, it should have been a gorgeous turnaround, but she did not expect to usher in 3 changes in the company's top management - every time there was a change, her album production would be shelved.
Entering a new company and being silent for 3 years, she ushered in her self-titled album "Jin Hai Xin", except for a song "Sad Swing", there was no splash.
After 3 years and 3 years, Jin Haixin finally ushered in a turnaround. A song from the album "Independence Day", "Stars in the Sun", once again appeared in the public eye, and the innovative attempt of lyrical slow songs finally achieved the desired result.
After a song "Love Like Narcissus" made her a color bell queen of that era, after a period of popularity, Jin Haixin's name became farther and farther away from everyone.
"The snow reflects my spring, and the daffodils bloom in the winter."
Looking back on the singer's experience, Jin Haixin admitted that he had been debuting for many years and his output was very low. Up to 5 years of time was wasted, I experienced helplessness and anger, and I also completely collapsed, and I can only say that "I have lost more than I have gained".
After 20 years, Jin Haixin sang "So Proud" again in "Who is the Treasure Singer", things are not people, two states of mind. In the show, Zhang Yadong, a well-known musician who once worked with Jin Haixin, looked at her for a long time and finally asked her, "How are you?" ”
The reunion of adults is always a surprise with each other's obvious embarrassment, obviously with a thousand words, and finally can only squeeze out one sentence, "How are you?" ”
Want to buy osmanthus flowers with wine, the end is not like, juvenile tour. Spirited, the people who once stepped on the Chang'an flower finally embedded their backs in life, which made people more and more indistinguishable.
In another variety show, Wu Qixian also asked Jin Haixin where she went after she "disappeared"?
"I still like music, or I like a slower life."
From time to time, the Internet will set off "Why don't everyone go to KTV now?" "In the discussion, there is a high praise comment: because everyone can sing only those old songs together.
The two words "blockbuster" and "classic" seem to be opposing relationships, but if you think about it, classics are explosive models that can be handed down. And today, what makes people who really want to make music have to market their daily routines to stay focused? And today's blockbusters, how many songs are in 20 years, we can enjoy with children?
