The big stage of CCTV can be said to be very magical.
Whenever the old is said and the new is welcomed, hundreds of millions of viewers will sit by the TV and look forward to it, no matter where they are, no matter what kind of work they are doing, they can't do without the Spring Festival Gala after tea and dinner.
Counting the grassroots stars who have come out over the years, there are really many. Rising Sun Masculine, Ah Bao, Xidan Girls, etc., but they don't seem to have withstood the baptism of time, disappeared, and are plagued by negative news and so on.
The same was true of the Spring Festival Gala in 1999.
This year, the CCTV stage came a girl who did not look tall, but was very "spicy", she was wearing a national costume and carrying a small back basket, giving people the first impression of being a mountain village girl.
That simplicity and nostalgia bloomed in her smile, making the audience remember Li Qiong at once. A song "Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road" made it popular all over the country.
But in the years since, few people have seen this "hot girl" again, where did she go? Is her appearance still as beautiful and pleasing as it was then?
On July 11, an official account of "Peng Shui" released a promotional video about the "Theme Public Welfare Party of the Fifth Yudongnan Eco-ethnic Tourism and Culture Festival".
The singer in the short film has short hair, a rounded body, and the most significant is the double chin, a han red version of the live. With such a look, no one would have thought that this was the "hot girl" Li Qiong.
01 From the road of art
The uniqueness of sound is talent, the key lies in how to dig, if there is no Bole, then even the best people will be buried.
Li Qiong on the Spring Festival Gala stage looks like a rural girl, but in fact, it is not. It is reported that Li Qiong came from a musical family, his father was a famous Chu opera actor, and Li Qiong inherited his father's good voice.
Her passion for music is the driving force behind Li Qiong's progress. Father's polishing and guidance is the compass of Li Qiong's life.
In the 1980s, Teresa Teresa's singing voice spread across the taiwan strait and three places, and Li Qiong, as a musical family, would naturally bathe in Teresa Teng's singing.
Because she liked it, Li Qiong often imitated Teresa Teng in private. Over time, the seeds of music were planted in her heart.
In order to make Li Qiong's progress quickly, her father took her to participate in various competitions. And practicing lung capacity, countless painful experiences, countless failures and lessons, Li Qiong finally began to grow.
At the age of 14, Li Qiong was admitted to Hubei Music School under the arrangement of her family and started a school career. Talent joined the efforts to make Li Qiong's academic performance very good, and after graduation, she entered Wuhan University for further study.
In the mid-1990s, a new star appeared in the Hubei broadcasting industry called "Chutian Music Radio". In an era when television was not yet very common, radio became a symbol of family wealth and a form of entertainment.
To expand influence and attract young people. Chutian Music Radio came to Wuhan University to recruit a host.
As a loyal audience member of the show, Li Qiong is very happy about this. With a solid foundation, Li Qiong successfully entered the radio station.
After a period of internship, although unpleasant things happened, it did not wear away Li Qiong's belief in singing.
At that time, Chutian Radio and the local troops held a party, and Li Qiong successfully attracted attention with "China's Moon". Isn't the loud singing voice and the graduation from a prestigious university exactly what the army was born for?
With the support of her father and leaders, Li Qiong entered the army and once again began a military career.
02 The joys and sorrows of the Green Song Contest
Each type of competition has its own system, but not all systems are perfect and sometimes need to be broken.
After obtaining tickets with "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau", Li Qiong officially went to Beijing to participate in the Qingge Competition, and all the judges were big coffee-level beings. Li Guyi, Li Shuangjiang, and so on.
A song "Three Gorges My Hometown" made the judges present all shocked, can there be such a pure voice in the world? It's really not easy.
The audience's love and applause sometimes do not determine the future of the contestants, and the system cannot be changed. The judges are different, and their preferences for music are also different, and judging from a professional point of view will inevitably lack the atmosphere of the ground.
It was in this context that Li Qiong, who was optimistic about the audience, won the Excellence Award.
To put it bluntly, this award is the "consolation award", the value is not high, and compared with the applause of the audience, it is simply an "insult".
The voice of doubt quickly caused a public reaction, and even the media came out to speak out.
Under pressure, the Youth Song Contest set up a special prize, which seemed to be a "new award", but in fact it was a blockage. Unlike the last time, the judges were changed to spectators.
In this way, Li Qiong won the first and only "special prize" in the Youth Song Competition.
03 Spring Festival Gala
The Youth Song Contest has always been related to the Spring Festival Gala. As the winner of the "Special Prize", Li Qiong can certainly enter CCTV smoothly.
Small back baskets and national costumes have become standard on Li Qiong's CCTV stage. It seems like a few minutes of performance, but behind it needs to pay not only energy, but also financial resources.
In order to keep the vegetables in the small back basket of her daughter Li Qiong fresh, her father had to go to the market every time to buy fresh vegetables.
After becoming famous, Li Qiong's life has undergone earth-shaking changes, and she also enjoys a high reputation in the army.
In 2000, Li Qiong once again received a task from the regiment to participate in the 10th Youth Song Competition. The 10-day preparation time was too hasty, so Li Qiong chose a song "Boatman's Trumpet".
What I didn't expect was an accident that came quietly. Host Zhu Xun reported Li Qiong's unit, the "Armed Police Cultural and Labor Corps," as the "Cultural and Police Cultural and Labor Corps." After Li Qiong heard it, she hesitated for a few seconds before confirming that it was her own song. This disrupted Li Qiong's singing rhythm.
After the loss of the game, all kinds of doubts kept coming. And she was also wondering if she was suitable for singing.
04 Recent developments
With the passage of time, if you do not respond, it will lead to rumors.
Rumors of being banned are also growing.
In 2001, Li Qiong toured Europe, she sang "Boatman's Trumpet" again, and her loud singing voice resonated and won thunderous applause.
Since then, Li Qiong has strengthened her singing style and ignored the doubts of the outside world. When the mood is good, it will be more effective to do things with less nature.
Integrating the experience of life into her creations, Li Qiong has become more and more introverted and more and more hidden.
In an interview in 18 years, Li Qiong said that although she had faded from the public eye in recent years, she had been making music, and most of the time she went to the grassroots level with the regiment to perform, at least 100 times a year. She also managed the first women's electroacoustic band in her unit.
Without external doubts and without the pressure of life, people are naturally fat.
