There are many "godfathers" in the Chinese music scene, but those who are really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people are Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng.
Luo Dayou is compassionate and compassionate, Li Zongsheng is open-minded and vicissitudes, they are all singers who open the door of the times, and they are also creators who give the soul of Chinese music, worthy of the title of "monumental" godfather.
Talking about Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng, it is easy to think of the brilliant chapter of the Chinese music scene of the last century.
Clouds from the dragon, wind from the tiger, Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng in the rolling stone records of the days, it is the time when the song world is surging.
Even after the millennium, Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng joined hands with Zhou Huajian and Zhang Zhenyue to form a longitudinal line to revitalize the former glory.
Everyone has always regretted that Wu Bai failed to join the vertical line, in fact, Wu Bai could not join the vertical line.
Because he has his own exclusive orchestra "China Blue", but his personal reputation is too grand, everyone often tends to ignore China Blue, but in fact, Wu Bai and China Blue Orchestra are integrated.
The regret of the longitudinal line, there is someone else.
"There are some things you don't have to ask now, and there are some things you never have to wait for."
Unexpectedly, the lyrics of this song became a slur, and the person who sang this song turned away from the public eye for more than 20 years, and we really did not wait for her to return.
Chen Shuhua wrote her ending in this way.
At the beginning, Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng formed a vertical line to try to win this "self-enclosed" old friend to re-emerge from the music scene, but it backfired, and Chen Shuhua did not change her mind.
At the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, Chen Shuhua, who had short black hair, sang this song "When She Wakes Up" tailored for her by Li Zongsheng.
Along with this song, there is also Chen Shuhua and Li Zongsheng's "You Walk Your Way", with these popular works, Chen Shuhua broke free from the shackles of the times and became an urban female spokesperson in the new era.
She also has distress and sorrow and will be trapped by love, but her clear singing voice shows more of a calm, real and sensual and free image.
The "human design" established by Chen Shuhua with her singing has aroused strong social resonance, crossed genders, broken classes, and become a superstar in the song world.
"Waking Up" and "You Walk Your Way" as a popular symbol of the times, far overshadowed the title of the album "Talk to You, Listen to You", but despite this, it still did not affect the status of this album in the slightest.
The album was produced by Li Zongsheng, and the singers involved in the writing of the famous Luo Dayou, Chen Lerong, Li Zhengfan, so many Chinese singers " the blessing of the "big gods" made this album the first record in the history of Taiwanese music to sell more than one million.
Li Zongsheng even relied on this battle to gain the titles of "Gold Medal Producer" and "Million Producer", which made him famous in the circle.
"When DreamIng and Waking Up" has been sung for 10 years, Chen Shuhua has also been in the singing world for 10 years, and after she won the Golden Melody Song twice in the 90s, she conquered countless listeners on both sides of the Taiwan Straits and three places with her singing.
However, a generation of divas chose to leave at the peak and is still alone. Friends, media, and fans around her have repeatedly asked her to return to the music scene, but they will never get her response.
In 1997, in order to better maintain her figure, Chen Shuhua accidentally ate a weight loss drug containing amphetamines, and her health was damaged, and she had to suspend singing for a while, and it was this short retreat that laid the groundwork for her future full withdrawal from the music scene.
The following year, Chen Shuhua released a new album "Paradise Lost", many fans think that this is the beginning of her next heyday, but what is unexpected is that not long after the launch of the new album, Chen Shuhua announced her withdrawal from the music scene.
And she withdrew rather crisply, the kind of determination to "wave her sleeve and not take away a cloud".
How determined is that?
As Chen Shuhua's long-time friend, Li Zongsheng, the godfather of the music world, invited her out of the mountains many times but was rejected.
In 2003, in order to release Chen Shuhua's music compilation album "A Letter to Shuhua", Rolling Stone Records originally planned to invite her to appear on camera, but unfortunately it backfired. So we can only see a group of old friends talking around her topic, and she herself didn't even say a word.
In 2008, still under the influence of the "old owner" Rolling Stone Records, Luo Dayou, Li Zongsheng, Zhou Huajian and others formed a "vertical line" and reserved a seat for Chen Shuhua.
In 2010, the Rolling Stones 30th anniversary concert, everyone was looking forward to her comeback by taking this opportunity, but the hope was still disappointed. Her father confirmed that she was so ill that she could not make a comeback.
The voices of the media and fans are even higher than the waves, but Chen Shuhua is deaf and refuses. Since then, she has only lived in everyone's memory and her singing.
Not addicted to sound and color dogs and horses, not coveting fame and fortune, like the story of the saints saying, "Rich and noble like a floating cloud".
Liu Wenzheng, the emperor superstar of Taiwan's music scene in the 1980s, is such a typical example. At that time, "where there are Chinese, there is Liu Wenzheng's singing", and there is also a saying in the song world that "men learn Liu Wenzheng, and women sing Teresa Teng Lijun".
Liu Wenzheng himself studied under Liu Jiachang, a big singer in the music world, single-handedly founded Flying Eagle Records, and cultivated Wu Qixian, Qiu Haizheng, Fang Wenlin, Yi Nengjing, these proud protégés, his greatest achievement is to introduce campus songs into the mainstream song world in Taiwan, and his influence has swept across the sea to the mainland.
Liu Wen is the well-deserved "tide maker" in the Chinese music scene in the 80s, and after he became famous, he washed his hands in the golden basin, completely withdrew from the music world, and even left the entire Chinese world, just like the evaporation of the world.
The Golden Melody Awards wanted to award Liu Wenzheng a "Special Contribution Award", but unfortunately could not contact him; Luo Dayou, the godfather of the music world who had a relationship with him in the early years, also released a "search notice" through the media to find the missing legend.
In addition to Liu Wenzheng, the characters who "resolutely quit the music scene" are Guan Zhengjie, who refused to receive the "Golden Needle Award" of the honor of the Hong Kong music scene because he did not want to show his face, and Fei Yuqing, who "the media will not come out again".
Chen Shuhua, who "disappeared", is different from these people who have left the music scene in a dashing way, and there is still a desolate curtain behind her legend, and what we see from her is more helplessness and regret.
There are two reasons: one is the original family, and the other is personal personality, which directly leads to Chen Shuhua's "collapse" from the music scene and refuses to return to the music world.
Chen Shuhua responded to her lyrics in "Waking Up from Dreams" that "Some people you never have to wait for" are like a fixed number in the dark.
Most people know Chen Shuhua from "Waking Up from a Dream", but in fact, before joining Rolling Stone Records, Chen Shuhua has already made great achievements in the music world.
Among the many Queens of the Golden Bell Song in the 1980s, the only one who also finished the Golden Melody Award was Chen Shuhua. Her voice is smooth and graceful, gentle and moving when singing bass, shocking and powerful when singing high notes, and she was already an absolute strength in the hearts of everyone at that time.
When it came time to join Rolling Stone Records, Li Zongsheng praised "Chen Shuhua's voice is like a hair, the kind with good hair quality."
Li Zongsheng, who admired her very much, naturally attached great importance to Chen Shuhua's first shot after coming to rolling stones, and he was determined to make Chen Shuhua a representative of the "metropolitan woman" in the audience's heart.
So with the million-selling album "Tell You, Listen to You" they jointly created, and then successively launched "Woman's Heart" and "Tomorrow, Do You Still Love Me", these three records are Chen Shuhua's "Metropolitan Women's Trilogy", which makes her truly go to the peak and glory.
Luo Dayou asked her to sing "Rolling Red Dust", and Jackie Chan asked her to sing "Clearly Understand My Heart".
Huang Xia tailored the theme song "Streamer Flying" for the movie "Green Snake", and after the song was written, Huang Xia thought about it and felt that only Chen Shuhua could interpret the charm and mood he wanted, which was such a special honor.
In the cause of singing, Chen Shuhua, who was praised by the stars, was undoubtedly successful. She was held in the palm of her mother's hand and did not let go of everything, which also led to her tragedy.
In the future, the most direct "fuse" for Chen Shuhua to withdraw from the music scene was the death of her mother.
In Chen Shuhua's singing career, her mother has helped her a lot, and it can even be said that Chen Shuhua has played a crucial role.
Chen Shuhua just sings, and her mother helps her take care of other things. Including Chen Shuhua has signed Huashi, EMI Records and Rolling Stone Records, all of which are operated by Chen Mother.
In life, everything is meticulous and meticulous, and the famous Chen Shuhua is like a flower in a greenhouse. Until her mother died and the greenhouse collapsed, she became a flower blown by the cold wind, delicate but difficult to bloom.
The death of her mother is the fuse for Chen Shuhua's withdrawal from the music scene, but if you look deeply into Chen Shuhua, you will find that in fact, her departure is already doomed.
Chen Shuhua once said that she is an "introverted and shy person", which is indeed her true personality, but it is incompatible with the entertainment industry.
Li Zongsheng commented on her, "Shuhua is a very difficult person to understand, and sometimes I feel that she is struggling to complete the way I want to be. ”
Bobby Chen said of her, "She is reluctant to easily show her inner fragility and contradictions, but her kind heart is still inadvertently revealed." ”
Bug said, "You can have a good chat with her, but you always feel like you're leaving." ”
Regarding Chen Shuhua's personality, singer Qi Yu said it more thoroughly: she wants to contact you, and if she wants to contact, she must extend her hand, but she does not want to reach out. So she may have some of these things in her personality.
The death of her mother, coupled with her introverted personality, Chen Shuhua, who has poor communication with others, wrapped herself up layer by layer.
Many people directly blame Chen Shuhua's mother for being too strong and taking on her daughter's life in a big way, but losing her more opportunities to grind.
In fact, mother Chen cannot be blamed entirely. At that time, many singers in the Taiwanese music scene would interrupt their studies when they became famous at a young age, but Chen Shuhua did not do so, because her mother thought it was important to study and encouraged her to continue her studies.
During her studies, Chen Shuhua also learned piano and guzheng with the support of her mother, which to a large extent cultivated Chen Shuhua's intellectual and introverted temperament.
If it were not for Chen Mother's meticulous care, Chen Shuhua would not be able to fully focus on her singing career, which is the two sides of the matter that we need to look at.
However, in this bustling and noisy circle, without the help of her mother, Chen Shuhua can no longer be like before, and the pressure of reality makes her breathless.
She can sing a thousand times and a thousand times and sincere songs, but she can't cope with the trivialities of the red dust world.
Chen Shuhua eventually retired at the age of 40, and her departure also fixed all of her in the most beautiful moments in people's hearts.
Hearing Chen Shuhua singing "Everything is empty of eyes, this life is not over" again, you can understand how much emotion this sensitive and tender woman contains.
Hateful today's articles accuse her of being "weak and dependent on her mother", but they do not understand her courage to leave with her eyes empty.
When Li Zongsheng held the "Reason and Sensibility" tour, at the end of the song "When Dreaming and Waking Up", a letter he wrote to Chen Shuhua appeared on the big screen.
Chen Shuhua still did not appear.
Xiao Li became the real old Li, but Shu Hua was still the most beautiful Shu Hua.
After winning the world of song, she withdrew from the most beautiful Shaohua and was determined not to leave a single word. Any fan or friend called out, and she was always unmoved.
Such an ending, for Chen Shuhua, does not know whether it is what she wants. In the middle of the night, will she ever have a trace of remorse?
