There is a song that can be described as "Spring Festival Gala Nail Household", which has dominated the screen for 38 years since 1984.
At the end of each year's Spring Festival Gala, we will say goodbye to the old and welcome the new in this beautiful song.
"Unforgettable tonight, unforgettable tonight, whether it is the end of the world or the cape..."
The song is light and sweet, the line cavity is gentle and smooth, and the bite words are clear.
The singer is Li Guyi, who is known as the evergreen tree of the song world.
The Spring Festival Gala nail household "Unforgettable Tonight" has dominated the screen for 30 years.
In 1984, the second Spring Festival Gala, director Huang Yihe wanted to arrange a closing song for the Spring Festival Gala, the theme was to reflect the reunion of the family, the reunion of the motherland, and finally to be full of hope and confidence in the future, so that people could deepen their impression of the Spring Festival Gala.
"When?" The famous filler Qiao Yu asked.
"Right now"
"What does it mean right away?"
"It's going to be what you're writing right now, and I'm sitting here waiting to get it." Huang Yihe said.
From left to right: Qiao Yu, Huang Yihe, Wang Mo
"This won't happen soon, too soon, tomorrow." Qiao Yu hurried to bargain.
Huang Yihe reluctantly agreed.
Later, Qiao Yu's inspiration came suddenly, and he quickly wrote the lyrics of "Unforgettable Tonight". The next day, Huang Yihe looked good, took the lyrics and went straight to the composer Wang Mo and asked him to compose the song.
The song is ready, who will sing it? Together, the three of them all felt that Li Guyi was the most suitable.
Sure enough, Li Guyi sang with a straight voice and a beautiful voice.
"Regardless of the end of the world and the cape, Shenzhou wanli embraces the same embrace, and wishes the motherland well and the motherland well..."
The three of them were very satisfied with what they heard, and that was it.
So smooth, no problem on the Spring Festival Gala, right? If you think too much, you have to ask the program team to approve it. Unexpectedly, the other leaders of the program group opposed, and the opposition was still quite strong, saying that the melody of the song sounded sad and did not conform to the general tone of the Spring Festival Gala.
Besides, putting this song at the end of the Spring Festival Gala, will the audience have an opinion?
Others are more direct: "This song is not very healthy, soft and soft like mourning." ”
Director Huang Yihe insisted on seeing himself, he felt that this was right, the end of the whole celebration was slightly sad, which could deepen the impression, and the Spring Festival Gala had a feeling of being in love with the Spring Festival Gala and meeting again next year.
He insisted on recording the song with Li Guyi.
Sure enough, once "Unforgettable Tonight" was broadcast, the rhythm was soothing, the meaning of the words was simple and clear, close to the hearts of the audience, coupled with simple and easy to remember lyrics, it was immediately loved by the audience across the country.
This piece won the 1986 Chinese Music "Morning Bell Award". "Unforgettable Tonight" has been so professional to dominate the screen for more than 30 years, not to accept it!
Li Guyi has thus become one of the singers with the most on the Spring Festival Gala.
Li Gu's life
Born in Kunming, Yunnan in 1944, Li Guyi was admitted to Hunan Art College at the age of 15. Three years later, she was fortunate enough to be selected to enter the Hunan Provincial Flower Drum Drama Theater.
In 1964, a flower drum play "Make-up" made the audience remember this beautiful girl. At the same time, it won the Excellence Award for Drama Performance in Hunan Province and Five Provinces of Central and Southern China.
In 1965, Li Guyi had the honor of performing the flower drum play "Making Up for the Disaster" in Beijing, and was on the National Day viewing platform and was cordially received by the leaders.
Her voice is clear and the tune is beautiful, and her singing voice with a slight Hunan rural tone makes people feel very intimate.
Recalling the scene of that year, Li Guyi was excited: "I am Lao Mao's little fellow, how can my feelings for him not be deep?" ”
The icing on the cake is that this performance made Jin Tielin notice this sweet-voiced girl. He began to guide her pronunciation carefully, correct irregular singing methods, and help her improve her singing level as soon as possible. The two fell in love because of this.
In 1970, a strange disaster fell from heaven, and a good "Patching Disaster" was suddenly regarded as a revisionist black seedling, her parents' home was raided, and she was sent to the countryside to do hard farm work in the remote Yao village.
During that time, Li Guyi also worked as a barefoot doctor and gave needles to patients. But she is obviously not suitable for this industry, embarrassingly, after she gave people a needle, she forgot about it, the patient fell asleep on the spot, and woke up to find that the needle was still unplugged, almost not scared.
In 1974, Li Guyi was admitted to the Central Orchestra, and since then, her beautiful lyrical songs such as "Frontier Spring Water Is Clear and Clear" and "Sister Finds Brother Tears" have begun to be sung at home and abroad.
In 1975, Li Guyi went abroad with the Shanghai Art Troupe to perform in Australia. At that time, she was 31 years old. She still looks like an 18-year-old girl, with a delicate complexion and a rosy face, and a simple, healthy beauty.
At this time, Li Guyi was already well-known in the domestic music industry.
In 1980, Li Guyi sang "Nostalgia" with the breath singing method to sing controversy. This is the first popular song in the mainland after the pulling out of chaos. This song was sung all over the country, but it was inexplicably labeled with "yellow songs" and "mesmerizing sounds".
The song was banned for a time, and it was not until the first Spring Festival Gala of 83.
Good at industry, Li Guyi changed the lyrics
Teacher Li Guyi not only sings well, but also pays attention to every little detail in addition to the exquisite drill of singing vocal music. To this end, she also changed the lyrics of Teacher Zhang Quan.
It turned out that when she sang "My Motherland and Me", she was very excited and devoted when she sang. When singing "You use your mother's warmth." Tell me..." The original lyrics were written as "Mother's Pulse."
At that time, she felt that when she said the word "pulse bo" in that era, the people did not understand it and did not understand it. Changing to warmth is much smoother.
Teacher Zhang Quan, who is a songwriter, said: "Gu Yi, my word is like a poem, don't change mine." ”。
After he left, Li Guyi felt that he should be worthy of the audience and changed. So, there are two different versions of the song.
Speaking of which, the song was composed smoothly, and it took only 20 minutes before and after.
On the same day, Qin Yucheng went to his house for dinner. Zhang Quan's wife's rice was not yet cooked. The song "My Motherland and Me" was created by Qin Yucheng.
Later, this song has been collected by Zhang Quan, until he went to Guangxi to collect wind, when he pushed open the window, he saw a rising sun on the opposite side, illuminating the mountains and rivers picturesquely, how can such a great river and mountain not be loved?
Half of his life was bumpy, but he was always closely related to the fate of the motherland. So the inspiration came.
"I and my motherland cannot be separated for a moment..."
The song is written, who will sing it? The two quarreled again, and Qin Yongcheng said to find a Western singer to sing.
Sing the momentum. The folk singing method is too weak to sing, and the softness spoils the charm of the song.
Zhang Quan resolutely disagreed, he insisted on finding Li Guyi to sing, feeling that her singing style was warm and sweet.
The song is a perfect blend of lyricism and passion, combining a beautiful and moving melody with simple and sincere lyrics. It expresses people's love and attachment to the great motherland.
As a result, Li Guyi sang "My Motherland and Me" on the spring evening of 1985, and the beautiful melody and lyrical lyrics suddenly touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of viewers, and they were popular throughout the country and have been sung to this day.
That special era of love
In 1967, Li Guyi had the honor of meeting one of the most important nobles in his life, and he guided her into the highest hall of music, leading her from the simple flower drum opera stage to the big stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
At the same time, he is also an important partner in her life, Teacher Jin Tielin.
Jin Tielin is a famous vocal educator in the Chinese music industry, a doctoral supervisor, and the most respected and respected music master.
He is the best star-making master, whether it is national, bel canto, or pop music, he is at ease.
Singers who have become gold through his gold finger such as Song Zuying, Zhang Ye, Dong Wenhua... All of them are huge singers.
He was a magician in the music world, and with his careful guidance, his disciples quickly became household names in a short period of time.
Li Guyi was also one of the disciples who became gold through his magic points.
When he was young, Li Gu was straightforward and fiery, outspoken, and loved to stir up trouble, and was a small pepper. Sometimes the feeling of tears is very low and it is easy to be emotional.
On stage, she behaved softly and femininely, full of feminine charm.
Such a beautiful little girl, full of youth, how can she not teach people to love? When the two met, Li Guyi's eyes were full of admiration for Jin Tielin, he was so talented and outstanding, he was simply her ideal lover.
The young and promising Jin Tielin did not have that idea at first, purely teaching students, not to mention the teacher-student relationship between the two.
Unexpectedly, teaching and teaching, every day the ears grind, unconsciously the two rubbed out the spark of love.
In this process, Li Guyi's achievements and learning in music have advanced by leaps and bounds, and they have traveled thousands of miles a day.
Jin Tielin was bitterly depressed, because the teacher-student relationship was not tolerated by the world.
The concept of being a teacher for one day and a father for life is deeply rooted in the minds of the Chinese people.
But Li Guyi doesn't care so much, she is not afraid of heaven, love is love, which cares so much.
After a long time, Jin Tielin was moved. The two unconsciously changed from teacher-student love to love.
This short marriage did not last long. The reason is that Li Gu is getting more and more famous and getting busier and busier.
Going out to perform all day and not being able to fulfill his wife's responsibilities. In addition, the two have not had children, which is not good for face to go to the hospital for examination.
Jin Tielin proposed a divorce several times, not wanting to delay Li Guyi.
Once vigorous love, it had to end in failure.
Divorce and remarry, self-shame on the family
At the time of the divorce, Li Guyi was not too young.
For a while I couldn't get out. Later, a die-hard fan appeared in her life and tugged at her heartstrings.
His name was Xiao Zhuoneng, and his father was a founding father. He is an official of the Shandong CppcC And the general manager of China Ocean Technology Corporation.
Soon after the marriage, the two had a daughter, named Xiao Yi.
Why is it called Xiao Yi, Xiao Zhuo can say: "There is no other meaning, take one word of the two people's names and spell it into the daughter's name." “
Li Guyi has a different saying: "I took this name to prove that we love each other wholeheartedly." “
Although Li Guyi is very busy at work, he often can't take care of his home. But Xiao Zhuoneng always tolerated her, understood her and supported her cause. The relationship between the two is good, and they have hardly quarreled.
After getting married, Li Guyi's work became busier and busier, which made her unable to take care of her family at all.
Li Guyi wanted to participate in the tour of the Central Orchestra, and sang 72 times in more than 50 days, with more than 10 songs per performance, and this pressure can be imagined.
At the same time, her vocal cords are bleeding due to overwork, what should I do? Before playing, take an injection to stop bleeding and anti-inflammatory before going on stage.
She worries: "If you don't play well, run out of tune or can't sing, you will be sealed and can't get on stage again." “
Once, my daughter broke her arm at home. Grandma quickly took her granddaughter to the hospital to pick up the bones, but the doctor was not good enough and connected to the wrong position.
I had to knock off the plaster and take it again. My daughter cried out in pain. Li Guyi listened to her heart on the phone, but there was no way to go back, so she had to choke and say to her daughter: "Mother will go back in a few days." “
Afterwards, she was very guilty. Feel ashamed of your daughter.
She even burst into tears at the scene of the interview and said, "I'm not a good mother." “
In addition, she also felt guilty about her husband, who had supported each other for many years, and did not fulfill her responsibility as a wife.
Both husband and wife are very busy, and they get together less and more all year round.
But the relationship between husband and wife is always good.
Reunited with her ex-husband in "Lu Yu Has a Date"
After the divorce, Li Guyi soon remarried. Jin Tielin, on the other hand, lived alone for many years.
Until 1997, he fell in love with his current wife, Ma Qiuhua. Ma Qiuhua graduated from the Music Department of Nanjing University of the Arts and engaged in vocal music teaching and research. The two had a son less than two years after their marriage. Jin Tielin is more than 50 years old, and the natural treasure is incredible. The son is also very angry and never has to worry about adults.
Now Jin Tielin lives a calm and fulfilling life, and his life is also complete.
One by one, both found their own happiness.
After many years of divorce, Li Guyi and Jin Tielin met at the recording site of the "Lu Yu Has a Date" program, and the former couple seemed so strange and sat far away. When recalling the days when Jin Tielin taught her to sing, Li Guyi smiled and said that she was the first practitioner of Jin's teaching method, and the second was Song Zuying.
The first on the right is Song Zuying
Li Guyi and Song Zuying also sang a clip from "Liuyang River" on the spot.
Jin Tielin listened with relish, and he said that he basically did not sing because the students sang much better than him.
Later, I had to sing two sentences as a last resort.
Li Guyi was even more emotional: For the first time in my life, I sang a song with my teacher Jin. “
Jin Tielin sincerely gave Li Guyi the highest evaluation: "She sang Chinese national music to a very high level, so I want to thank Li Guyi"
At this time, Li Guyi has become a milestone figure in the history of Chinese national music.
You are very good, I am not bad, but the deep love is shallow.
Once a couple, goodbye is also awkward. One night husband and wife for a hundred nights, and now they have become strangers.
It is not appropriate to call a king a wife, nor to be called a teacher or a friend.
When recalling the fiery love of youth, the days when the blood was boiling, I don't know how the two felt.
Straight life, straight talk
Li Guyi was a hot girl when he was young, just right, not going with the flow. Dare to speak out, dare to expose unhealthy trends, and adhere to the principle of fairness and justice.
At the end of the 70s, some people criticized Zhu Fengbo, but Li Gu couldn't look at it and stepped forward.
"Zhu Fengbo's singing is just good... Just look at the "White Haired Girl" sung by others, the voice is full of emotions, the scene is blended, who can compare? “
Silence people.
Another example is Gu Jianfen, until 1982, he was in the situation of being criticized, others avoided it, but Li Guyi chose 40 songs of Teacher Gu at the same time. Two cassette releases were recorded to show support for Gu Jianfen.
In 1991, Li Guyi and his disciple Wei Wei confronted Bo Gongtang, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while. The feud between the two masters and apprentices even had to be mediated by leaders, and Li Guyi also won the case.
In addition, the exposé leaders are full of private pockets, oppose the late contestants to participate, and adhere to the fairness and principles of the competition. I haven't done this kind of thing any less.
Pepper's nature has followed her for decades and has never changed.
Even if she offends people, even if she is criticized and humiliated, she doesn't care, she should say it, and be frank and frank.
Live your part.
8. Li Guyi's achievements
Li Guyi has participated in the 30th Spring Festival Gala, and now that others can participate once in their lives, they feel very happy, which is simply incredible.
On the spring evening of 1984, she set a new record. At that time, in order to cooperate with the interaction on the spot, the Spring Festival Gala arranged 4 telephones to answer calls from audiences from all over the country. Because the audience outside the venue can order songs, many viewers are enthusiastic to call.
As a result, many people ordered Li Guyi's song. So that at that Spring Festival Gala, she sang 7 songs solo and sang 2 songs with others, a total of 9 songs. A record that cannot be surpassed.
Li Guyi is very popular, and her songs are all fine, including many well-known songs. Such as "My Motherland and Me", "Zhiyin", "Unforgettable Tonight", "Nostalgia" and other famous songs that have been sung to this day.
Li Guyi has devoted all his life's work to his singing career.
In addition to singing, Li Gu is full of peach and plum all over the world. For her disciples, she never hid herself.
Strict requirements for disciples in teaching, selfless care and help in life, to fulfill the responsibility of a teacher.
To this day, he is deeply respected and loved by his disciples.
In that special era, Li Guyi broke the invisible fence wall between people with his singing.
She sang a new era with her singing voice.
Grew up with us.
Whether we are at the end of the world, in southern Xinjiang and North America, when we sing "My Motherland and Me"
My heart is full of love and thoughts for the motherland.
