Edit | white-faced transcript
The status of the music scene was once higher than that of Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong;
Jacky Cheung did not dare to call himself a god of song in front of him;
Teaching Andy Lau how to compose music and how to sing can be said to be the existence of enlightenment teachers.
This person is known as the "music ghost producer, iron lung singer king" - Lin Zixiang.
For young people, this name may be a little unfamiliar, and even feel that the author is exaggerating. In fact, his works such as "Boys should be self-reliant, minutes need you" and other songs.
Until now, it is still listened to and sung by countless people.
However, compared to the smooth sailing of his career, his feelings are extremely bumpy.
01 Illusory dreams
Lin Zixiang was born in 1947 in Hong Kong, China.
When he was very young, he also had a privileged life, but with the divorce of his parents, it all came to naught.
After that, her mother had a lover and went to the United States, and Lin Zixiang and her brother were sent by their father to study at Dover College in the United Kingdom.
Language communication barriers, different eating habits, and unfamiliar environments all make Lin Zixiang feel lonely.
But soon, he broke the dilemma.
I found a group of friends who like music, formed a choir, and prepared to find an opportunity to go out and perform. Just when he was in high spirits, reality slapped him hard.
For some reason, my father at home abruptly stopped the brothers' tuition fees.
With no source of income and no relatives, they have never escaped being kicked out of school. Just when they were losing hope in life, their mother suddenly received a good news.
After living in the United States for a while, she finally has the ability and funds to support her two sons.
This contacted them and took them to the United States to continue school and study, but at this moment, Lin Zixiang interrupted his mother's original plan.
Insisting on returning to Hong Kong, pursuing an unfinished, illusory musical dream.
It was this decision that allowed him to meet his first lover.
After returning to Hong Kong, he saw the most popular Warner Records at the moment.
They have Wang Jie, Aaron Kwok, Lin Yilian, Zhang Yusheng and many other big names in the music industry.
So there is a saying that as long as it is favored by Warner, it means that one foot has stepped into the singer's final circle, and it is only a matter of time before it soars.
Such a company can naturally attract a large number of young people who dream of becoming singers, and Lin Zixiang is one of them.
At that time, he was only in his early twenties, surrounded by disciples, penniless, and preoccupied with music. After getting an interview invitation from Warner Records, he felt his chance had come.
With such a mood, Lin Zixiang walked into Warner Records with a guitar on his back. Seeing the examiners on the stage, he was nervous, and after a simple self-introduction, Lin Zixiang began his own performance.
What he didn't know, however, was that an examiner's eyes were glued to him the whole time.
Once upon a time, she Wu Zhengyuan was still an eighteen-line small artist who could only stand on the side for group photos, but thirty years in Hedong, she has now become a popular actress.
Together with other partners, he founded Warner Records and became the general manager of Warner Records Hong Kong.
Every day, he is responsible for sitting in the studio and interviewing young people who have dreams. Looking at Lin Zixiang, who was singing with his head down in front of him, there was always a strange feeling in his heart.
02 Wishful love
Even though she had seen so many handsome male stars in the entertainment industry and interviewed hundreds of opposite sexes every day, she was still moved at the moment she met Lin Zixiang.
It can be seen that the fate between the two is predestined and inescapable.
For this reason, she involuntarily added a layer of filters to him, and before Lin Zixiang could sing two sentences, Wu Zhengyuan voted for him and successfully attracted the attention of men.
At that time, Lin Zixiang did not know Wu Zhengyuan's feelings for him.
When I think of myself being able to make a record, stand in the spotlight and become a big star, and complete my dreams from childhood to adulthood, I can't help but be happy.
However, Wu Zhengyuan likes to like it, and the method of pursuing men is quite traditional.
First, he received people to his own record company, and then tilted most of the company's resources to him.
Under her operation, Lin Zixiang successfully swept major awards with a song "In the Middle of the Water", won the title of "Iron Lung Singer", and became the lead singer of Warner Records.
A legend that continues to be seen by Warner as a soaring legend, but this is only the beginning.
Taking advantage of Lin Zixiang's great popularity, Wu Zhengyuan took advantage of the victory to pursue.
Classic songs such as "Minutes Need You" have laid a good foundation for men's stardom in the coming decades.
A stranger, throwing an olive branch and taking out so many resources for no reason, made Lin Zixiang very confused in his heart.
In the day-to-day relationship, he understood Wu Zhengyuan's feelings, perhaps because of love, or perhaps because of work, he accepted this love.
After the relationship was confirmed, they also had a happy and beautiful life.
Wu Zhengyuan, who is addicted to love, completely lacks the temperament of the past female hegemony, completely looks like a small woman, and even fantasizes in his mind about his life after marrying Lin Zixiang.
At this moment, the heavens seemed to hear her heart and put the opportunity in front of her.
One day in 1980, Wu Zhengyuan saw what he liked to eat on weekdays, and always felt a little nauseous, so he went to the hospital to check his body, heard her description, and the doctor suggested that she go to the gynecology department to see.
After a check-up, the doctor told her that this was a normal reaction of a woman when she was pregnant.
When Wu Zhengyuan heard this, her first reaction was to be happy, but what she didn't know was that what awaited her in front of her would be an abyss.
It wasn't until many years later, when Wu Zhengyuan talked about this past again, that he said such a sentence: I can actually feel that he is reluctant to "marry his son".
But seeing his girlfriend's belly grow bigger day by day, Lin Zixiang was also very reluctant in his heart. He could only obey Wu Zhengyuan's wishes and secretly register the marriage.
However, for a relationship, it is not easy to come together, and whether it can be maintained is the most difficult.
After marriage, Wu Zhengyuan not only gave birth to her husband's eldest son, Lin Dexin, but also bore him a daughter. Although there is no great wealth and nobility, it is better than plain and happy.
Seeing that her husband's career was gradually on the right track with her help, Wu Zhengyuan shifted his focus to the family.
For example, when his son's hair grew, Wu Zhengyuan personally took scissors to repair, and sometimes the repair was not good-looking, so he put on a hat to express his dissatisfaction.
Looking at his son's eyes full of grievances, Wu Zhengyuan will also show a smile. The mother and the two children play and play, which is perhaps the best parent-child time.
On the other hand, Lin Zixiang, the father, every time he met with his son, there was no atmosphere of fatherly kindness and filial piety, but after a "Hi", he once fell into an embarrassing situation.
Everything can be seen in the strangeness between them.
However, Wu Zhengyuan did not care about these details, she felt that as long as the family was safe and sound, it would be fine.
However, the appearance of a woman has broken the beauty in her heart.
03 Bury happiness with your own hands
In 1983, Ye Qianwen left Taiwan and came to Hong Kong to develop.
Wu Zhengyuan only glanced at it, and as the general manager of the record company, he found Ye Qianwen and took the initiative to match her, letting her sing the song "Reunion" with her husband Lin Zixiang.
Unexpectedly, her sincere heart became the fuse that shattered the family.
In 1984, Lin Zixiang, who was suddenly inspired, picked up a pen and paper and took only ten minutes to write the song "Zero Hour Ten" to the 23-year-old Ye Qianwen.
Facts have proved the strength of musical geniuses, and With this song, Ye Qianwen has established the status of "big sister" in the Hong Kong music scene in one fell swoop.
Since then, he has written many popular little love songs for her, such as "Willing, Completely You".
In addition, at the event site where the stars gathered, as long as Lin Zixiang came to the stage, the eyes of Eason Chan, Andy Lau and others were full of respect.
Andy Lau liked to sing when he first debuted, but he didn't know how to sing and wasn't confident. By chance, he met Lin Zixiang, a musical "big name", which gave him the opportunity to turn over.
Therefore, Lin Zixiang can also be regarded as Andy Lau's half-teacher.
Later, in 1991, Lin Zixiang sang the theme song "Boys Should Be Self-Reliant" for an action movie, and his high-pitched and full of arrogance made people listen to the blood boiling.
"Proud and arrogant, red sunlight, guts like iron and bone like steel...", listening to it, I don't know what I remembered, Ye Qianwen unconsciously shed two lines of clear tears.
The look in his eyes became more and more determined.
In 1992, the 31-year-old Ye Qianwen, with "dashing walking once", pressed Faye Wong and won the award of the most popular female singer.
Ignoring her thriving career, she uttered something self-destructive.
After winning the award, everyone will say thank you for the award speeches of satellite television, TV stations, relatives and friends, etc., but Ye Qianwen is not, standing directly on the stage and shouting: Lin Zixiang, I love you.
Lin Zixiang, who heard this, was shocked, and then seemed to think of something, and his smile became a little far-fetched.
Wu Zhengyuan, who was far away in the United States, knew the news and only felt that the sky was about to collapse.
After a brief moment of sadness, she regained her composure, and her intuition told her that Ye Qianwen wanted to snatch her two children.
For a while, Ye Qianwen took the initiative to show goodwill with the two children, and when they met, they were particularly affectionate, and once let the eldest son lose his mind, and the love revealed between the words made Wu Zhengyuan feel uneasy at this time.
You have to stop the loss in time to keep what you want.
In 1995, after some deliberation, Wu Zhengyuan decided to end the 15-year marriage.
On the one hand is a strong female boss, on the other hand is a gentle and small female singer with the same dream, after a comparison, Lin Zixiang's choice can be imagined.
In 1996, they were married in Vancouver, and the two moved to Canada.
And Wu Zhengyuan, a woman in San Francisco, took care of the food, clothing, and housing of two children, and was doomed to have an easy life.
After the divorce, Wu Zhengyuan felt that everyone would reprimand Ye Qianwen's behavior according to the attitude of treating third parties and extramarital affairs at that time, but this was not the case.
The people who learned the news felt that it was Wu Zhengyuan's strong and domineering behavior towards her ex-husband that caused the end of this marriage.
Misunderstood, betrayed by her husband, and wasted more than ten years of youth.
Everything made Wu Zhengyuan very aggrieved.
She felt that although she was strong on the outside, she had always been the attitude of a little woman in front of her lover.
But the child's cries pulled her back from her grief back to reality.
Working hard during the day to earn money, taking care of her two children when she came home at night, she would always cry and complain about the injustice of God in the middle of the night.
These days went on for a long, long time.
With the passage of time, Wu Zhengyuan gave up all his time and energy to the two children. Busyness makes the reluctance and resentment in the heart slowly disappear.
Started a new relationship.
However, when Wu Zhengyuan went out on a date, his son, who was worried about his mother's injury, would always tell him over and over again: "Don't kiss, don't hold hands, don't hug, don't..."
Perhaps in order to take care of the children's emotions, Wu Zhengyuan's relationship also ended without a problem, and he raised his son alone.
After that, he went to the United States to live alone, plain, simple, and very comfortable.
Lin Zixiang, 75, and Ye Qianwen, 61, although they look white-haired and very old. But the feelings of the two were not affected, and they were full of smiles and looked very loving.
Wu Zhengyuan used his youth to teach his ex-husband how to love a person, how to be good to his lover, accompany him from scratch, and work hard for more than ten years, and finally made a wedding dress for others.
