Editor / Little Love Letter
At the 1992 Top Ten Golden Melody Awards, Ye Qianwen defeated Faye Wong and Lin Yilian to win the Best Female Singer Award.
Ye Qianwen that night can be described as an infinite scenery, this is the second time she has won the Best Female Singer Award, but surprisingly, standing on the podium, she is most grateful not to the fans, not her parents, but Lin Zixiang.
"I really thank Lin Zixiang, he taught me a lot, although the outside world is rumoring that we are in love, but I still love you." 」
This bold show of love really shocked everyone, because at that time, Lin Zixiang still had a wife and children, and such a high-profile show of love also caused a lot of speculation about the relationship between the two.
As we all know, Ye Qianwen's famous song "Zero Hour Ten" was written by Lin Zixiang.
However, at that time, the two were still only the relationship between master and apprentice and confidant, how did Ye Qianwen turn her former confidant into her own pillow person?
01
In 1983, Lin Zixiang wrote a love song called "Reunion", and it was this "Reunion" that contributed to the first encounter between Ye Qianwen and Lin Zixiang.
At that time, Lin Zixiang's "Reunion" needed a female singer to sing with him, so Lin Zixiang's wife and boss Wu Zhengyuan recommended a female singer to him - Ye Qianwen.
Lin Zixiang's ex-wife Wu Zhengyuan
Although Lin Zixiang did not know any Ye Qianwen at that time, he believed in Wu Zhengyuan's vision, and under her repeated introduction, Lin Zixiang agreed.
After getting Lin Zixiang's consent, Wu Zhengyuan called Ye Qianwen to inform her of the incident and informed her of the time to come to audition rehearsals.
At that time, Wu Zhengyuan actually did not think of what kind of consequences his move would bring to his life, but only thought that when he saw Ye Qianwen's good qualifications, he simply thought that she was a good singer and wanted to sign her into his own flag.
And this time the chorus, the same Wu Zhengyuan is only from the perspective of a businessman, wanting Lin Zixiang at that time to bring new people.
After all, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, rather than cheapening others, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity yourself.
And the moment Ye Qianwen learned that she was going to sing with Lin Zixiang, her heart was actually incredible, after all, Lin Zixiang could be described as a singer in Hong Kong's red half of the sky.
Although the Hong Kong music scene was full of talents at that time, even so, Tam Wing Lin, Zhang Guorong and others were still students in front of Lin Zixiang.
Therefore, ye Qianwen was naturally overjoyed to get the opportunity to sing with Lin Zixiang, but while she was happy, Ye Qianwen's heart also carried a nervousness.
Because Lin Zixiang not only sang well, the Hong Kong circle gave him the nickname "Iron Lung Singer", but also an original singer, writing classic songs such as "Like The Wind Like Smoke" and "Real Man".
At that time, there was a saying in the Hong Kong entertainment industry:
"Other singers sit under the concert stage are fans, while Lin Zixiang sits under the concert stage are all stars."
At that time, Ye Qianwen could be said to be a passerby in the entertainment industry compared to Lin Zixiang.
Ye Qianwen developed in Taiwan in the early days, and when she was 19 years old, she was discovered by star scouts because of her beauty and entered the entertainment industry.
After several records were released in Taiwan, the response was mediocre, so they switched to the development of Hong Kong, which was full of gold at that time.
But the Hong Kong entertainment industry is so mixed, filmed several movies have not been as desired fire, and coincided with the special period of the Hong Kong film and television circle at that time, many actors did not shoot, Ye Qianwen turned to give up acting to sing.
However, although Ye Qianwen's later results were still average, she was favored by Wu Zhengyuan at the time and felt that she had the potential to sign into the company.
Therefore, in terms of generations, Ye Qianwen still had to call Lin Zixiang a "master brother".
But presumably, when Ye Qianwen first met Lin Zixiang, she also had no thoughts about Lin Zixiang, because she said it a long time ago:
"I don't like bearded men."
And Lin Zixiang has grown a beard since he was young, but when he really falls in love with someone, where will he look at the standard conditions, it is nothing more than a feeling.
At that time, Ye Qianwen went to the company and Lin Zixiang to rehearse and sing with great interest, and saw that the seniors in the song world were very respectful, and Lin Zixiang did not hesitate to teach, teaching a lot of his own singing skills to this girl who was 14 years younger than himself.
After a period of rehearsal, the classic love song "Reunion" came out and became a must-have song for many couples for a while.
And Ye Qianwen also began to emerge in the song world with this song, starting her own singing career.
02
Because of the cooperation of "Reunion", Ye Qianwen's relationship with Lin Zixiang and Wu Zhengyuan gradually became acquainted, and she was often invited by the couple to play at home.
Ye Qianwen has a big grin and is also very easy-going, so every time she goes to Lin Zixiang's house, she has a lot of fun with his two children and becomes a trusted good friend of the two children.
Ye Qianwen was unaccompanied in Hong Kong at that time, and during that time, the care given to her by Lin Zixiang and Wu Zhengyuan's family became the only thing worth rejoicing in her life, and her life gradually improved, but her career was still repeatedly hindered.
Although with the help of the song "Reunion" and Lin Zixiang's fame, if you want to occupy a place in the Hong Kong music scene, you must have your own masterpiece.
Ye Qianwen recalled several albums that he had posted before, remembered the moments when he was criticized for not being able to sing, and did not have the inspiration to write a good song.
Of course, she can also buy other people's songs, but she doesn't know which song is better.
Just when Ye Qianwen was in trouble, Lin Zixiang appeared.
That day Ye Qianwen was extremely troubled by the song selection in the song room, Lin Zixiang casually asked as if he was passing by, how the song selection was.
Ye Qianwen smiled bitterly and said that he had not yet chosen it, and Lin Zixiang took out a cassette tape for her and said casually:
"This is a song I wrote when I went to the bathroom, you can try it."
Having said that, Ye Qianwen knew that Lin Zixiang was helping her, but his mouth was hard and soft, so he did not pierce him:
"In this way, the songs you are writing on the toilet, then I must sing and watch."
The song written by Lin Zixiang is the Cantonese song "Zero O'Clock Ten" that was widely circulated later, in order to sing this song well, Ye Qianwen suffered a lot.
Ye Qianwen was born and raised in Taiwan, even if he later went to Hong Kong to develop, he did not speak Cantonese, fortunately, Lin Zixiang helped people to the end, a word a word marked with good pinyin, a word a word to teach Ye Qianwen to sing.
In the end, Ye Qianwen was selected as one of the top ten Cantonese songs in Hong Kong in 1984 with the song "Zero Hour Ten", and she also gained a firm foothold in the Hong Kong music scene.
After that, Lin Zixiang also added more support to Ye Qianwen, serving as the supervising producer of several albums by Ye Qianwen, helping Ye Qianwen step by step to the throne of "Cantonese Diva".
After Hong Kong became famous, Ye Qianwen did not forget the grievances and difficulties she had suffered in Taiwan, and a song "Dashing Walk Once" made her popular in the streets and alleys of Taiwan.
No one could have imagined that the little girl who was ridiculed for singing would return strongly in the future as a singer, all of which had Ye Qianwen's own talent and hard work, as well as the strong support of Lin Zixiang and Wu Zhengyuan.
If there is no Wu Zhengyuan, Ye Qianwen is probably still the little girl who wanders on the border of the entertainment industry, and if there is no Lin Zixiang, Ye Qianwen may not have the later achievements.
For Ye Qianwen, Wu Zhengyuan is her boss, Lin Zixiang is her master, and the two of them are the nobles in her life.
However, although Ye Qianwen has had a smooth career with nobles, she has always been quite unhappy emotionally.
Ye Qianwen once shared a piece of her own past, she said that when she made her first boyfriend, she was still very young, but she also paid a lot of sincerity, but in the end she was hurt very deeply.
Perhaps because the injury was so deep, so that every relationship that was later was hastily concluded, and the superstar Fei Xiang was so, and mi xing Shaodong Lu Yuanjun was also the same.
However, Ye Qianwen, who has a bad feeling, is still extremely eager to have a happy and beautiful marriage, and longs to meet a man who is worth entrusting for life.
Hating to marry, she even ran to fortune tellers, who said that if she did not marry before the age of 38, she would not be able to marry after that.
In this way, Ye Qianwen was even more anxious, and couldn't help but confide in his master Lin Zixiang that his greatest wish was to marry.
Because of the long-term relationship and cooperation, Ye Qianwen and Lin Zixiang became good friends without saying anything, and Ye Qianwen often confided in Lin Zixiang her innermost thoughts.
However, at this time, the relationship between the two is only a confidant, and what really makes the relationship between the two go further is because of a song called "Choice".
In 1992, Lin Zixiang wrote Chinese love song "Choice", which also needed a female singer to sing with him, and naturally he once again chose his old partner Ye Qianwen.
"Choice" MV
As soon as this song was released, it became popular all over the country, and the two were thought to be two couples by many because of their tacit understanding in the MV, and the media also reported that the two had a love affair because of the song.
In fact, at that time, the two people's feelings for each other had actually changed a lot.
From the 1992 Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Gala, Ye Qianwen's public love for Lin Zixiang.
And when the two sang together that night, Lin Zixiang naturally wrapped his arms around Ye Qianwen's waist, and at that time, it was obvious that there was more than just friendship between the two.
But at that time, Lin Zixiang had a family, and Lin Zixiang's wife, Wu Zhengyuan, gave him a chance to be a singer when Lin Zixiang had nothing, became his boss, and also became his girlfriend.
After that, he did his best to plan publicity for Lin Zixiang, which can be said to be a noble person in Lin Zixiang's career, without her, there would be no Lin Zixiang at the top of the pyramid.
But the two people who have been in love for many years have not been married, and Lin Zixiang explained that the two are likely to divorce if they are married.
Because the two are difficult to distinguish in work and life, they often bring differences and emotions at work to life.
Lin Zixiang Wu Zhengyuan
But then Wu Zhengyuan became pregnant, in order to give the child a name, the two chose to get married, after marriage Wu Zhengyuan was probably for the family, chose to quit the workplace and concentrate on settling in the United States with a son and a daughter.
Therefore, Lin Zixiang and Wu Zhengyuan have been separated for a long time, and their feelings have naturally faded, and in Lin Zixiang's words, there is no longer any feeling.
But out of consideration for their children, the two have maintained a husband and wife relationship until the domestic scandal has spread more and more, and Ye Qianwen even faded out of the entertainment circle for this reason, calling friends and friends to live a decadent life all day long.
Seeing that Ye Qianwen was so painful, Lin Zixiang made up his mind to divorce.
In fact, Ye Qianwen probably fell in love with Lin Zixiang a long time ago, but for her benefactor and friend Wu Zhengyuan, Ye Qianwen could not do anything to destroy other people's families no matter what.
Therefore, Ye Qianwen's love for Lin Zixiang is the inhibition of love that stops at friends and confidants, wants to get close but can't get close, wants to leave but is not willing to leave, which is the most torturous.
Of course, Lin Zixiang also loves Ye Qianwen, but he also knows that loving her should not let her be criticized, so he is willing to end her marriage with Wu Zhengyuan for her.
Unexpectedly, before Lin Zixiang proposed divorce, Wu Zhengyuan, who was far away in the United States, filed for divorce one step ahead, and finally Lin Zixiang exchanged his free body for 35 million Hong Kong dollars.
Lin Zixiangcai and Ye Qianwen, who finally recovered their singleness, were together in a bright and upright way, and in 1996, Lin Zixiang and Ye Qianwen held a simple wedding in Vancouver and became a legal couple.
From former confidants to couples who share the same bed.
The two have been quite difficult along the way, but good things are grinding, whether it is true love, everything seems to be a day.
03
When the two were first married, many people were most worried about the feelings of Lin Zixiang's two children, but Lin Zixiang later said with great satisfaction:
"For my divorce, the two children have nothing to say, and they and Ye Qianwen are also good friends."
Although Ye Qianwen and Lin Zixiang rarely mention about the two children, Ye Qianwen often calls Lin Dexin (Lin Zixiang's son) his son on the show.
Later, when Lin Dexin went to participate in the program, Ye Qianwen also went to the platform to support, which showed that the relationship between the two was very good.
Therefore, the child will not affect the marriage of Ye Qianwen and Lin Zixiang, but the huge difference in living habits between the two has become the main reason for the contradictions and quarrels between the two.
Ye Qianwen and Lin Zixiang are 14 years apart, this 14 years old means that the two actually belong to different eras, marriage is not like falling in love, as long as love can be tolerated, marriage is appropriate.
But there were too many inappropriate things between Ye Qianwen and Lin Zixiang.
Ye Qianwen likes to be clean and tidy, and Lin Zixiang likes that the drawer is messy as soon as it is opened;
Ye Qianwen likes to sleep late, but Lin Zixiang gets up at 5:30 every morning to drink morning tea;
Ye Qianwen likes to make a fuss and talk, but Lin Zixiang likes to quietly mend clothes and do handicraft work...
But as long as the love is deep enough, there is no run-in, although the two have so many differences and contradictions, but the two know how difficult it is to come together.
It doesn't matter if it's not appropriate, they have a lifetime to find a suitable model for the two of them to get along.
Since the concept of life sorting is different, Ye Qianwen strives not to take care of Lin Zixiang's drawer, as long as his drawer is clean and tidy;
Since the work and rest habits are different, Ye Qianwen and Lin Zixiang simply sleep in separate rooms;
Since the way they get along is different, Ye Qianwen will talk as little as possible and listen more.
Over time, Ye Qianwen also found a life model suitable for the two to get along, and the relationship between the two gradually became a good story in the entertainment industry.
It's just a pity that neither of the two people belongs to their children, and there are some fly in the ointment.
When the two got married, Ye Qianwen was only 36 years old, and if she wanted to have children at that time, it was actually too late, but Ye Qianwen confessed:
"It's because I don't like kids, and I don't think I'm a good mom, that's why I don't have kids."
In fact, there are pros and cons to this matter, if you have children, you can inherit the singing genes of two people, and maybe you can cultivate a talent for the music world.
Without children, Ye Qianwen can spend years and years with Lin Zixiang in the two-person world.
04
Recently, Ye Qianwen and Lin Zixiang sent a video solidarity for Shanghai, and Ye Qianwen's hair in the video was gray.
A generation of goddesses has grown old, and Lin Zixiang next to her has silver hair, and her face is much older, and the two are really carrying each other to the white head.
And the time that belonged to them has passed, and the youth that belonged to them has also passed.
When the 73-year-old Lin Zixiang sang "Choice" again in "Our Song", we suddenly remembered that Ye Qianwen and Lin Zixiang had been married for 25 years.
The love and vigor of the past have passed away, and what remains is an infinite dependence and habit on the other party:
"Lin Zixiang is now a very important family member and lover for me."
Very few people can hold on to their relationship for twenty-five years, and if there is, it is probably true love.
For Ye Qianwen and Lin Zixiang, as long as they are safe and sound, spending the rest of their lives in good health is a rare happiness.
Each of them is probably the redemption of each other's destiny, if Ye Qianwen did not meet Lin Zixiang, her career may have achieved nothing, and her feelings may have been blocked.
And if Lin Zixiang had not met Ye Qianwen, he might have spent time in that dispensable marriage, never knowing how it felt to love someone and be loved.
Some people may say that Ye Qianwen was a third party who interfered in other people's marriages, but even Lin Zixiang said openly and frankly:
"Ye Qianwen and I were only very good friends until I divorced, and we were not together until after my divorce."
So what's the doubt about it, people in love will come together no matter what, perhaps like the two people sang in their love song "Choice":
"You chose me, I chose you, I will love you for a long time, and I will definitely accompany you to the sea to the stone rot."
