Recently, the highest degree of variety talk is "Sound and Endless".
This show, "I am a singer" under the banner of "Hong Kong music", finally gave a little life to the almost suspended internal entertainment.
Leaving aside the controversies over Hong Kong music, the first stage that attracted me the most was Ip Qianwen.
When she sang, I had only one thought in my mind, which was, "She's so beautiful, she's so beautiful, why didn't I realize her beauty before?" ”
Dressed in red, silver hair, and a beam of light, I finally understood why in my mother's time, everyone liked her.
△ It is very recommended that you look at the singing version of TVB, although a few clips have been cut, but the live without the modification can reflect Ye Qianwen's strength.
Ye Qianwen, elegant on stage, cute offstage.
The women's team won, and she was the one who laughed the loudest;
When fighting with Lin Zixiang, she said in English with disgust, "How can I win you over";
There are also going to the men's team to "peek" to spy on military intelligence, and it is also cute to pretend to be angry.
△ When I saw this, I found that Ye Qianwen had secretly changed her performance clothes and put on more comfortable clothes and flat shoes
Ye Qianwen's bullet screen was also inexplicably funny.
She said that when she bought vegetables in Hong Kong, her enthusiastic neighbors would give her a few green onions. When she was naïve, she may have thought that this was her honor as a star, but the friends of the bullet screen were saying that "all of Guangdong is like this."
A little thing, she remembered it in her heart as a "blessing", how can there be such a star who is easy to satisfy?
Seeing the 60-year-old Ye Qianwen's free swing in "Sound and Endless", I remembered a very hot topic in Douban, "how to re-educate yourself aesthetically after adulthood".
Ye Qianwen's light on the stage did give me an "aesthetic re-education" - it turns out that naturally aging can be so good.
Years have never defeated beauty, Ye Qianwen's beauty, not in the skin bag, but in the unique personality and taste in her bones.
Is she a true celestial purple microstar?
As I mentioned earlier, I didn't think Ye Qianwen belonged to the category of "good looking" before, after all, in that golden age of Zi Yanhong, there were as many beauties as carp across the river: Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Wang Zuxian, Maggie Cheung...
In addition, before, I always felt that the songs sung by Ye Qianwen were too old, and they were the love of my parents' generation.
So I don't have any special feelings for her.
Looking at it now, I found that Ye Qianwen was really atmospheric.
The best description of Ye Qianwen's appearance is delicate and bright, "both thick and light are suitable."
I can only blame me for being too unfamiliar with Ye Qianwen before, in fact, she has had this sense of brightness on her body since she was young, like a sunflower.
And Ye Qianwen's career is also like her personality, a sunny day.
Ye Qianwen, born in 1961 in Taiwan, debuted in 1980, and her famous songs include the familiar "Blessing", "Dashing Walk", and "Woman's Weakness".
Although Ye Qianwen was born in Taiwan, she immigrated to Canada with her family at the age of 4 and only returned to Taipei during the holidays. Therefore, she does not know how to read and write Chinese characters, and often needs to use Pinyin to translate Mandarin and Cantonese. (Many of the "Hong Kong singers" and "Hong Kong actors" we now recognize are actually not native Hong Kong origins, such as Ye Qianwen, Faye Wong, Liu Jialing, Lin Qingxia, they are just packaged by Hong Kong companies, "Sound and Endless" please Ye Qianwen is really right.) ）
The funniest thing is that more than 20 years later, she still only knows more than 700 Chinese characters, and sometimes she can't even understand her own gossip news.
The growth environment abroad has made Ye Qianwen grow into a warm and generous, playful and carefree "ghost girl".
When she was 6 years old, she loved singing and wanted to be a singer.
Ye Qianwen would put the characters of the magazine together and pretend to be listeners, imitating the singer to hold a concert.
When she was a child, she also loved to watch Hong Kong movies, and every time she returned to Taipei, she had to watch movies. Jiang David acted in "Thirteen Taibao", she watched thirteen times.
Ye Qianwen, who regarded acting as an interest, did not think that the opportunity to enter the entertainment circle would soon hit her head.
At the age of 19, when Ye Qianwen returned to Taiwan to visit relatives, she was excavated by star scouts and went to shoot juice advertisements, officially entering the show business circle.
Then, she was invited by ma Yonglin, the eldest young master of the Yuanda Group, a film actor and investor, to shoot the movie "A Match".
Ye Qianwen also sang the theme song of the movie of the same name written by the famous Taiwanese musician Li Taixiang.
In the second film, Ye Qianwen cooperated with the well-known Qiong Yao Xiaosheng Qin Han to shoot "Bin Mei".
After a few years of development in Taiwan, there was an invitation from Hong Kong.
In terms of film, she has cooperated with directors Wu Yusen, Zhang Aijia and Xu Ke.
Because of her big grin personality, Ye Qianwen plays a lot of comedy and funny roles. But she is also one of the few people who can be funny because she is beautiful.
△ "Dao Ma Dan" Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Ye Qianwen starred together, and the three beauties shared the stage, which is also a classic in the history of cinema.
In terms of singing, Ye Qianwen is even chasing after the heavens to feed and eat.
From 1990 to 1993, she won the Top Ten Golden Songs most popular female singer award for four consecutive years, and a total of 24 songs in her career were selected as "Top Ten Golden Songs", which is recognized as one of the "Queens of Heaven" in the Hong Kong music scene.
△ In 1992, this red dress style really had beauty to me
If there was a hit that year, then Ye Qianwen's "Dashing Walk Back" is definitely a hit in the hit.
Because when "Dashing Walk Back" came out, it just caught up with the wave of entrepreneurship in the 90s. Many people like to use the lyrics of "Dashing Walk Once" - "Why not walk once" as a portrayal of their own entrepreneurship. (Before Wu Lei's "Departure", which described the entrepreneurial tide in the 90s, this song was mentioned many times)
Therefore, this song is really popular all over the country. As long as you enter the KTV, you will definitely hear someone singing this song.
△ Hot knowledge: When Ye Qianwen sang "Dashing Walk Back", Chen Xiaochun and Xie Tianhua did her accompaniment dance.
In 1996, after marrying Lin Zixiang, Ye Qianwen slowly faded out of the music scene and did not re-produce new songs until the end of 2002. However, the market has gradually depressed.
Although Ye Qianwen is no longer as active as before, her music and movies have become the memories of a generation. For example, Jia Zhangke often uses Ye Qianwen's songs in movies and likes the "love" in her songs.
Looking back at Ye Qianwen's career, almost all of them are highlight moments, and her ex-boyfriend is still Fei Xiang. I have to say that Ye Qianwen's configuration is the purple micro star that descended from heaven, right?
△ The biggest controversy on Ye Qianwen's body should be her love affair with Lin Zixiang. After Lin Zixiang divorced in 1995, he married Ye Qianwen a year later. Moreover, when Lin Zixiang was not divorced, the two had a scandal. Whether Ye Qianwen intervened in Lin Zixiang's marriage, whether the two really interacted before or after the divorce, we do not know the real situation. At present, the two have been married for nearly 30 years, and even though there have been rumors of marriage changes, they still work together to this day. Emotional matters, too difficult to judge, can only say that Ye Qianwen and Lin Zixiang are suitable people for each other.
Why does even the big brother of the underworld love her?
Ye Qianwen, who has a smooth career, has a good popularity and noble popularity.
When I watched Ye Qianwen, I kept thinking, why do I think she is very attractive?
It is important to note that she does not present a state of "60 years old" that we traditionally imagine, but is no different from her when she was young.
She still had that girlish shyness on her face.
Eyes twinkling, smiling, sincere and warm, as long as you look at her, you will be infected by her emotions.
Her open-minded and light attitude towards life is one of the reasons why she has a relatively smooth life. And all this is related to her family background.
Ye Qianwen's cheerful personality background was given by her family.
She was fortunate to have a family that gave her so much love.
Dad's "pistachio" personality, inherited from her, allowed her to always see the positive side of things.
Mother is Ye Qianwen's strongest backing.
Because Ye Qianwen's grandfather was an influential parliamentarian in Taiwan at the time, she wanted to join the entertainment industry, but she was also resisted by her grandfather.
However, her mother fully supported her (after all, her mother did not listen to her grandfather much and married Ye Qianwen's father, who had no money). Her mother even gave up the promotion opportunity of a high-paying job for Ye Qianwen and accompanied the young Ye Qianwen to shoot a drama.
In Ye Qianwen's eulogy to her mother in 2022, "Deep in My Heart", she can also feel how positive and good the impact of her original family and her mother has brought to her.
"She was the most strict teacher of my life... She taught very well... Never give up... Always believe in your principles. “
"She always supported and protected me. Her family didn't want me to be in the entertainment industry, but she wanted me to achieve my dreams, so she encouraged me to chase what I loved. She helped all her family, her friends and people she didn't know. ”
The original family shaped Ye Qianwen's optimistic personality.
Because she is a "ghost girl", she is new to the entertainment industry, and many words cannot be understood, but she also uses her delicacy and ghost horses to kill a road.
For example, when she was interviewed, she faced a difficult question to answer, and she pretended to be crazy and said, "I don't understand."
Then you can grin greatly when the game black hole.
Even when talking about the movie stars of that era, how much they would be coerced by the underworld, her response was "I'm fine, the underworld loves me more." ”
It can be said that if it were not for her personality of being able to mingle with the underworld on the set, she would not be so "lucky".
△ In the entertainment circle where everyone works to pay off debts, Ye Qianwen, who has a well-off family, can have the right to choose, and she is really lucky.
Hong Kong talent Huang Xia said that with so many female singers, his most "tin" and favorite is Ye Qianwen.
Because "this beautiful woman is good to be read" (resist to read, Cantonese, good character).
Once, Huang Xia helped Xu Ke write the theme song of the movie, and the two met at two o'clock in the morning, and worked until six o'clock to complete the creation.
At this time, they want to call someone to sing, so early, who would be so stupid to run and sing? The heroine of Xu Ke's play is Ye Qianwen, who just finished filming and was lying on the bed in the hotel for less than half an hour, when she immediately received a call from Xu Ke asking if she could come and sing.
Ye Qianwen really came. Ye Qianwen's "righteous spirit" impressed Huang Xia. And that movie was "Shanghai Night", and that song was "Evening Wind", which later became a classic.
Ye Qianwen's bold personality made her constantly meet nobles who appreciated her.
And her open-mindedness has always kept her awake in the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry.
For example, she herself feels that she is not a beauty, and she is not as good looking as Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong;
△ Ye Qianwen feels that she is very large (only), a small knowledge point: Ye Qianwen is 173cm tall
In the face of proud singing achievements, Ye Qianwen was not very proud.
Instead, he sincerely believes that he only won the award after Mei Yanfang retired from the singing world.
Including about popularity, she also sees very thoroughly, although she is not popular, but at least everyone knows her name. She felt that she was not as red as Faye Wong and Lin Qingxia.
However, she also does not pursue red or red, she feels that entering the entertainment industry, first of all, she likes it herself. Then you can earn enough money to support yourself, and then you can sing well.
"I don't need to sing for the sake of red."
No comparison, no jealousy of others, only want to do their own business, such a good personality, no wonder everyone loves her so much.
Luck is the humble word of the hard worker
Although her life seems to go smoothly to Lu Yu and she doesn't know how to interview, she can only say "you have been very smooth all the way", but the effort behind Ye Qianwen is just that she is not willing to say it (unlike some stars now, who brag about their efforts at every turn).
First of all, the language barrier, although Ye Qianwen received Chinese education at home, but in the end she grew up in the English environment, and after the development of Hong Kong, she had to learn Cantonese from scratch, and it was really not easy to stand firm in the music scene where the words were clear and the pronunciation was accurate.
Secondly, Ye Qianwen loves sports, in addition to badminton, golf, she also dances Latin, in the stage of "Sound and Life", in fact, you can see the sports traces on her body.
In fact, this is also the training that singers of that era needed, if they did not maintain a state of sports, they would never be able to support the performance of so many Red Pavilion concerts.
Although many people say that Lin Zixiang is an "iron lung", but in fact, Ye Qianwen is also a hidden "iron lung" singer, there is a section on the Internet where she and Faye Wong are two people together, while doing sit-ups while singing "I want your love", really superior strength, the back of the English bridge section is really very absolute!
△ Compared to Ye Qianwen's sit-up speed, Faye Wong is still secretly paddling hahaha
Moreover, although Ye Qianwen did not have career ambitions, she had the courage to fight for what she wanted.
For example, when she was developing in Taiwan, she was not so happy because the record company forced her to sing songs that she did not like.
At that time, the Taiwanese company wanted her to sing that sweet, cute love song. Ye Qianwen didn't like it, and as soon as the contract expired, she ran to Hong Kong to shoot a movie.
△ The male protagonist of this MV is still Fei Xiang, but Ye Qianwen is really not suitable for such a song
When filming in Hong Kong, Ye Qianwen was also very principled.
One is that she doesn't want to be so tired, and the other is that she just wants to focus on one thing.
Therefore, Ye Qianwen never rolled the drama. She asked the company to shoot one after filming, even if the big brother of the underworld came to ask her to roll the scene, she did not shoot, and also left the harsh words "You kill me and I will not shoot"
Later, because too many people asked her to shoot repetitive comedy themes, Ye Qianwen simply stopped filming and concentrated on singing.
Her career path that seems to be smooth all the way is actually a trade-off and a measure. Now, how many stars dare to have this boldness and only concentrate on one thing?
It can only be said that luck is the humble word of the hard worker.
When I watch Ye Qianwen's interview, I always think of another proud daughter of heaven, Gu Ailing, who everyone envies Gu Ailing, but how much effort to make behind it is not something that we ordinary people can understand.
Behind this, it is not a mechanical repetitive work, but a sweat mixed with wisdom and emotional intelligence.
Ye Qianwen is just 60 years old this year.
I've never thought about what my 60-year-old self would be like (maybe dancing kpop square dancing in the square with my sisters), but it was really fascinating to see a non-stiff-faced Ye Qianwen doing her love on stage.
Not every old person has to go through the wind and frost, and it is also a kind of happiness to be able to maintain a girlish, simple state all the time.
Living with an optimistic, positive attitude, keeping moving, laughing indulgently, and pursuing happiness may be the secret of Ye Qianwen Sally's still being so beautiful.
"To pursue happiness, happiness is to pursue."
I wrote this article to learn from Sally's open-mindedness.
I hope that the fairies who read the article can still remain lively and happy after they grow old.
At a time when every day is bad news, this is really the best "blessing".
