At the scene of Hunan Satellite TV's "Hi Sing Up", Wei Hui Ni was able to restrain his emotions when he first saw Ella Chen Jiahua and confessed to her. And when Zheng Yuanchang, the actor of Jiang Naoki in "Mischievous Kiss", shouted "Zheng Lily, Yuan Xiangqin, you two stupid women" came to his side, Wei Huini, dressed as Yuan Xiangqin, instantly cried into tears.
"Xiangqin" confesses to Ella and meets Naoki
Wei Huini has been a fan of S.H.E since she was a child, and for two or three years, she will play S.H.E with her two sisters, and carefully choose a time and place to invite her younger siblings to come to her concert. This time, when she finally had the opportunity to share the stage with her idol, Wei Huini not only brought the cover of her own S.H.E's first album "Girls' Dormitory", but also took the dream of her two sisters on the stage, "When I confessed to Ella, I was very excited and wanted to cry." ”
When Wei Huini's emotions were about to reach its peak, Zheng Yuanchang's appearance broke the last line of defense in her heart. "After watching 'Mischievous Kiss', you will feel that Naoki is a dream character, it is really difficult for you to find someone you love so much and are willing to fight for him in your lifetime, and at the moment I really think that I am Yuan Xiangqin, and then my lover comes out." 」
Wei Huini's love for Jiang Naoshu also comes from his profession, a doctor. "My mother used to prefer me and my sister to be doctors, and I always studied biology because I wanted to be a doctor." Wei Huini, who was supposed to be a doctor, unexpectedly and reasonably embarked on the road of music.
Singing is a common hobby of Wei Hui ni's family, they will have a family gathering in KTV, by the grandfather who sings vocal music as the judge, each child takes turns to sing, and songs such as "Woman Flower" that his mother loves to sing have also brought subtle influence to Wei Hui Ni. In high school, Wei Hui ni would hum melodies or sing in front of the piano, "Actually, I played a song, I still remember it, but I didn't compose lyrics, and I didn't think it was creation." ”
In his senior year, with the mentality of "writing a song when there is nothing to do", Wei Huini participated in the "self-created graduation song" competition held by the school. "Our school is in the mountains, there are cattle and sheep and swans, and I still miss that place, but when you enter the society, you may not go back, so I wrote a song." 」 What Wei Huini did not expect was that the first song he composed, composed and sang, "This Summer", not only won the championship of the competition, but also received more than 10,000 hits on the Internet in just a few days, and was widely sung for a while. From this time on, Wei Huini realized that creation was not difficult for him, that is, to present his life experience in his own way.
"Hey, I'm a man with a disability"
Being labeled is the fate of the artist. Wei Hui Ni also carries several labels: sweet, strong, positive energy. The first came from her appearance, "I think this label is very good because it fits me very well." The latter two came from her experience.
After launching his first solo music album "Micro Love" in 2012, Wei Hui Ni did not receive a job for a while after debuting as a singer. The pressure of raising a family and personal perfectionism made her have some disappointments and doubts about life. In order to combat this negative emotion, Wei Huini arranged his daily schedule to the fullest, writing songs, singing, painting, and exercising, preparing for a "comeback." But she didn't realize that her body was actually overloaded.
The fainting that day came without warning, and Wei Huini was hit the back of the head. "I don't remember how it fell, I just remember holding on to the wall and then it started spinning. When I woke up in the intensive care unit and found myself alive, I felt so lucky. Mom was next to me and asked me what I wanted, and I said I wanted tomato juice. Wei Huini, who survived the disaster, was also lucky in the eyes of the doctor, but she needed to face the side effects of the concussion, "I found that my favorite tomato juice had no taste, and I couldn't smell anything in the hospital at all." Wei Huini didn't know what was wrong with her, and she even ate durian in the hospital, but she couldn't smell anything.
Based on animal instincts, people will also obtain first-hand information through smells when they are in contact with the outside world, and the severance of this connection makes Wei Huini unable to find a sense of security for a while, "You walk into an environment, you feel a little uncomfortable, but you don't know why." At the moment, I will feel, hey, I am a person with obstacles, and I am quite sad. "This kind of appearance will be difficult for no one to see, and it will bring hidden dangers to personal safety." When the food was charred and the gas leaked out, Wei Huini could not react in time, and always realized that there might be danger before being reminded by others.
Wei Hui ni became more clever and more attentive to the external environment, through dietary therapy and acupuncture and other means of slowly recovering at the same time, she will be more focused on looking at each other's eyes when interacting with people, more attentive to experience the thoughts of others, "I think this is also a lesson, maybe I learn this lesson, my sense of smell will come back." She also hopes that through her own experience, she will win the attention of the outside world for more than 5% of the odorless people group, so that more people can understand the dilemma faced by this special group.
Start again, "I feel pretty brave"
Less than half a year after leaving the intensive care unit, Wei Huini came to Beijing alone from Taiwan. "I felt like it was an opportunity, I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, I wanted to start again. I felt quite brave, and I was surprised that my mother would agree. ”
It was the winter of 2016, and the weather in Beijing was very cold and the smog was heavy, and the rent of one or three paid cost her only savings. Wei Huini told herself not to worry, in order to survive first, she found a job as an administrative assistant, learning life skills such as sending and receiving couriers, ordering takeaways, and trying to adapt to the northern climate environment. But Wei Hui ni knew that this was not the trajectory he wanted, "With the soul of creation, you are very miserable in the office." "She would run to the bathroom to draw, or beat her foot to try to write something, but she couldn't do it.
The temperature soon dropped below freezing, and the over-the-knee down jacket that Wei Huini ordered online had not yet arrived. She came out of the Jingkelong supermarket, without gloves or ear protection, walking on the road with two heavy shopping bags in her hands, seeing the courier brother riding a motorcycle, thinking that people could take them for a ride.
"I suddenly heard someone on the side of the road speaking Hokkien, I cried at the moment, I don't know who he is, when I turned my head he was gone." Wei Huini, who has been trying to integrate into the new environment, was aroused by a familiar rural tone, "The farther away you are, the more you will miss the dialect of your hometown, which represents the traces of your initial infancy and growth, when I made up my mind to write a Hokkien album." ”
On December 28, 2018, Wei Hui Niquan's first Hokkien full-creation album "Yin Qimu" was officially launched, the album title is the disassembled "Qi", which contains seven original songs such as "The Words of Shang Shui" and "Nose Boy Run Away". "7 is a perfect number, and I've been debuting for seven years, and every song is a subject I've been through."
Wei Huini is not worried about the popularity of Hokkien songs and the acceptance of the public, the recent hit "Datian Hou Shengzai", "Prodigal Son Back" and other songs, is the best proof, "I love this language very much, I think it is very beautiful, and she is a connection between the two sides of the strait, we are the same root, she must stay." Wei Hui Ni hopes to evoke young people's love for traditional culture through the carrier of music, using the new Hokkien language, the trendy melody and arrangement," I have received feedback, they say that the new Hokkien language sounds quite interesting, willing to pick up the dialect and learn it again. As long as I see a few of these comments, I think it is worth it to spend more time and stay up all night on this album. ”
Singer or actor, just as determined to go on
In the summer of 2017, Wei Hui Ni went to audition for the crew of "Fu Shao", and the first words the director said to her were: "Come, my forehead is raised and I look." The forehead suitable for the costume and the slightly cold image because of nervousness helped Wei Huini win the role of Lady De Jian Xue. In order to keep up with the rhythm of the entire shooting, she insisted on running for two hours every day from the first day of entering the crew to the end of the show. After the TV series was broadcast, the role of Jian Xue was loved by everyone, and Wei Huini, as an actor, began to be recognized by mainland audiences.
After that, Wei Huini was often asked the question of which path of singers and actors was more important, and she always said without hesitation that diversified development was what she wanted most. "I think the creation is common, there are many people who cross borders now, if you really want to be a good actor, you will not enter the plot with the identity of a singer, that is a role, it is not me." 」
Wei Huini, who was born in 90, is sometimes urged by the outside world to enter the "next stage of women", but she knows very well that her life should not be divided into stages, "After being injured, after coming to Beijing, I am more and more aware of what I want, this dream, I am going to spend my entire life to complete, no matter how old I am now, I am just as determined." ”
The firmness of her dreams, in Wei Huini's view, is her advantage in competing with "young people", "Of course, young people have many advantages, I was also at that stage, face, collagen, physical strength." But I think everyone is not in vain, more unique, do not need to envy others, I know how I came to be, where to go in the future. ”
Regarding the future, Wei Huini depicts a whimsical world of hers: singing her own songs, drawing her own paintings, and sharing her ideas at concerts held at the Bird's Nest. This scene that integrates a variety of artistic creations is not only for Wei Huini personally, she hopes to do something for the fans who pour out their worries and sorrows to themselves, "When they come here, they can find that the world can be different, their vision can be different, the difficulties in front of you are really nothing, as long as you can live, pat your ass is a good man." 」 ”
epilogue
"Alive" is a word that Wei Huini frequently uses in interviews, and "lucky" is another. This may be one of the few traces left on this girl during those low tide periods. At first glance at this girl, none of us would think she'd ever had that experience, "ShouldN't I have a little scar on my face or something?" Instead of scars, what I see is the optimism and firmness in Wei Huini's eyes, "I think one thing that makes a singer or actor very happy is that the work will stay." Hopefully, in the near future, someone will dig up my album and watch my plays. ”
