"If you really need any reason, 10,000 is enough, I already knew that you took this relationship too seriously, and I said that I wouldn't let you go, if I really needed any excuse, 10,000 was not enough, I knew that I was inseparable from this relationship, what I said at the beginning, and I didn't let myself go..."
I believe that most people are very familiar with this song, as the masterpiece of the famous singer Zheng Yuan, this "10,000 Reasons" quickly became popular all over the country after it was launched, and even became the first place in the "Top Ten Best-selling Golden Songs of the Year" that year!
As a popular singer who was once popular, in addition to the song "10,000 Reasons", Zheng Yuan has also sung "Tolerance", "Love Pier", "Cold River Snow", "I Can Hold You When I'm Lonely" and other popular classic songs, and is recognized as the "Prince of Love Songs".
He held his own solo concert when he was 15 years old, and at the age of 19, he could earn 10,000 yuan a day by singing, and when he was at his peak, he couldn't even invite him to the Spring Festival Gala!
Surprisingly, Zheng Yuan, who was once red and purple, seems to have "disappeared" from the music scene in recent years, and there is very little news about him again. Where has he been now?
One
On November 2, 1982, Zheng Yuan was born in an ordinary family in Longshi Township, Chengcun Township, Yangxi County, Yangjiang City, Guangdong Province, with four children, he is the youngest, and two older sisters and an older brother.
Zheng Yuan's home is close to the sea, and the nearby neighbors are fishermen, affected by the environment, Zheng Yuan has also followed his friends to play and play in the water on the beach since he was a child, and the water is particularly good.
Unlike ordinary fisherman families, Zheng Yuan's family is very fond of art, from his grandfather to his parents, he likes to listen to Cantonese opera in his spare time, and whenever there is a performance near the village, his family will take him to watch it, and every time they watch it with relish.
Under the influence of his family, Zheng Yuan and his two older sisters and brothers also liked art very much, and they all achieved a lot later.
His eldest sister Zheng Lipin is a national second-class actor and a famous star of the Hongdou Cantonese Opera Troupe in Guangdong Province, the second sister was admitted to Xinghai Conservatory of Music and engaged in music education after graduation, and his only brother Zheng Dong became a professional singer.
Zheng Yuan, who also likes art, began to learn Cantonese opera from his grandfather at the age of four, and began to learn musical instruments such as gaohu, piano, guitar, and erhu at the age of five, laying a solid foundation in music theory.
In addition to letting Zheng Yuan learn various musical instruments, when Zheng Yuan was a little older, his family arranged for him to participate in various singing competitions.
In 1990, Zheng Yuan, who was only 8 years old, won the first prize with the song "Dare to Ask Where the Way Is" when he participated in the Yangjiang City Singing Competition, and began to emerge!
After that, Zheng Yuan participated in various singing competitions in Yangjiang City, performing particularly well each time, winning a prize many times, and gradually became a popular person in Yangjiang City.
Although Zheng Yuan has won many awards in singing competitions one after another, his family's long-term vision did not neglect his training, but let him study music knowledge more attentively.
Two
In 1996, under the supervision of his family, Zheng Yuan, who had a particularly good music foundation, was admitted to the Affiliated High School of Xinghai Conservatory of Music with the first place.
During this period, he has been studying with Chen Guoshan and other music professors of Xinghai Conservatory of Music, and his music level has rapidly improved.
In 1996, not long after entering the Affiliated High School of Xinghai Conservatory of Music, Zheng Yuan formed a band called "Guangzhou Freeman Band".
In the same year, at the age of 15, he held his first solo concert at Guangzhou University of Geosciences, and then launched a concert tour in major universities in Guangzhou.
As his fame grew, the next year, Zheng Yuan was discovered by Zhong Jianbo, a well-known Guangdong musician "Little Dou Teacher", and under the support of the other party, he began to try to record records, and successively released songs such as "Love Telling" and "Boy's Heart".
After that, Zheng Yuan began to tour all over the country, and although he was not a popular singer at that time, every time he performed in a place, many fans who liked him followed.
At the age of 18, Zheng Yuan was signed by Hong Kong Juncheng Entertainment Company, and under the company's arrangement, he released his first Chinese album "Rage to the Sky".
In this album, songs such as "Don't Come Here" and "Love Fury" were included, which were all very popular after their release.
In 2000, Zheng Yuan was invited by Shanghai TV to participate in the "Passion Challenge" of "Passion Steering Wheel" and won the championship.
During this period, he has insisted on holding concerts all over the country, and has held more than 50 concerts successively, and he was only 19 years old at the time, and he could earn 10,000 yuan a day by singing!
Zheng Yuan, who became famous at a young age, was in the limelight at that time, but for him, this was just the beginning of his career.
Three
In 2003, Zheng Yuan, who had been wandering abroad for many years, resolutely gave up his hard work outside and returned to his hometown Guangdong for development.
Not long after returning to Guangdong, he was signed by Chen Rentai, chairman of Peacock Records, and became the first singer signed by the record company.
Since then, Zheng Yuan has been constantly exploring and creating, determined to create more widely circulated songs, and in fact he did.
On January 5, 2005, after nearly two years of polishing, Zheng Yuan released his first solo Chinese album "Really Well-Intentioned".
The album contains a total of 12 songs such as "Really Well-Intentioned", "10,000 Reasons", "Let Go", and "Don't Ask Who I Am", and the title song is "Really Well-Intentioned".
What Zheng Yuan didn't expect was that after the album was launched, the hottest song was not the title song, but the song "10,000 Reasons" in it.
The song "10,000 Reasons" was written and composed by Long Jun, who is a very good songwriter, and the familiar classic songs such as "Don't Say You Love Me When I'm Lonely", "Good Gathering and Good Scattering", "Palm and Back of Hand" were all composed by him.
The lyrics of the song "10,000 Reasons" are easy to understand, the melody is catchy, and Zheng Yuan's beautiful singing voice quickly gained public support after its launch.
With the explosion of the song "10,000 Reasons", it not only set a total of 120 million RBT downloads, but also became the first place in the top ten best-selling hits of the year!
With the help of the song "10,000 Reasons", Zheng Yuan quickly became popular throughout the country and became a popular singer at that time.
Four
After becoming popular, Zheng Yuan not only became famous in the music scene, he also became a fragrant food in the eyes of major TV stations, and even CCTV handed him an olive branch!
In 2005, Zheng Yuan won the CCTV "China Music TV" "2005 Top Ten Newcomers" award, and also became the image spokesperson of the program.
In May of the same year, after he released his new album "I'm the hottest", he sang the title song of the album "Why can't people who love each other be together" on the stage of CCTV.
In 2006, he had a good relationship with CCTV and was invited to serve as a guest on the show "The Same Song" and so on.
In addition to CCTV, many local satellite TVs at that time also invited Zheng Yuan to participate in the program, in order to entertain, Zheng Yuan could be said to be lacking skills at that time.
It is precisely because participating in these shows that he lost his time for creation, and slowly, Zheng Yuan got tired of such a state, and he decided to no longer be active on the screen, but to create with peace of mind and bring more good works to fans.
After deciding not to participate in TV shows anymore, Zheng Yuan completely disappeared from the screen, and even the CCTV Spring Festival Gala could not move him, but after learning that he was for creation and music, not only did no one dare to say that he brushed big names, but they gave a thumbs up for his original intention!
Zheng Yuan's choice is not wrong, after fading out of the screen, after concentrating on creation, he has successively brought classic songs to the public.
Five
Since 2006, Zheng Yuan has successively released albums such as "A Lover Becomes a Dependent", "The One Who Has Loved", "Yuan Love Song", "Passing By" and so on.
Although these albums are not as popular as his previous albums, many songs in them have also spread all over the streets, such as "Is It Wrong to Love Someone", "Once Loved You", "Don't Say Love Me When I'm Lonely", "Happy Lover" and so on, all of which are particularly popular.
In 2009, Zheng Yuan, whose music career was in full swing, was also named the "Four Youth Music Idols" with his high popularity with An Xiang, Hou Xian, and Xu Song!
In 2010, Zheng Yuan released his seventh album "Inclusion", and the songs "Inclusion" and "Love Pier" in this album became phenomenal hits again.
In the same year, Zheng Yuan successively won the first place and the best popularity award of China's first Golden Bottle Top Ten Singers, the 7th Global Chinese Golden Melody Gold List Popular Singer Award, the King of Songs Golden Melody List Singer-songwriter Award and other awards!
In 2011, he released a new single "Cold River Snow", which combines pop music and traditional music, which is not only loved by the public, CCTV also gave him a super high evaluation, saying that this song is a masterpiece full of oriental flavor and traditional charm!
It was also in this year that Zheng Yuan, who was only 29 years old, was invited to become a music professor at the Beijing Opera Academy, becoming the youngest music professor in the academy.
Since 2012, Zheng Yuan has successively launched albums such as "Brother One Heart", "Too Deep into the Play", "I and the World Are Only One You" and so on.
In addition to releasing new songs, he holds concerts all over the country every year, and they are almost sold.
Until 2016, Zheng Yuan, who had been busy developing his music career, finally suspended his career and shifted his focus to his family.
Six
Although he has been busy with his career, Zheng Yuan is a person who pays attention to family affection and family, even if he is busy with work, he will not ignore the feelings of the people around him.
He has been sensible and filial since he was a child, and he has always been filial to his parents since he became famous, and he has never lacked the company of his parents.
As his parents got older, he did not hesitate to suspend his career and spend more time accompanying and caring for the elderly.
In addition to being filial to his parents, Zheng Yuan is also very good to his two sisters and brothers, and he will try his best to help them whenever they need them.
His brother Zheng Dong, who is also a professional singer, is not particularly good in his career because his reputation is not high, and Zheng Yuan has been trying to help his brother develop his career.
Since 2010, he has participated in many events and performances with Zheng Dong, and has his brother also signed to his music company.
In 2013, he also released the album "Brother One Heart" with Zheng Dong, and often let each other appear in his concerts.
It can be said that Zheng Yuan has never been stingy in treating his brothers and sisters, and he can push it, which is really not to be said.
It is precisely because the Zheng Yuan family gets along well, harmoniously and fraternally, and their family life has always been very warm.
In 2019, in the selection of "Looking for the Most Beautiful Family in Guangdong in 2019" in Guangdong Province, Zheng Yuan's family also won this award.
At that time, the award organizing committee commented on their family: "Career-based, morality-based, simple teachings anchor the foundation of being a person, heaven's way rewards diligence, a four-star school, re-teach a good scholar Daoxing, and the music house spreads its reputation." ”
In recent years, Zheng Yuan, who focuses on family and life, rarely brings new works to everyone, and rarely appears in front of the public.
In the eyes of the outside world, many people think that he has been outdated and has to disappear from the music scene, but they do not know that he chose to retire.
It is worth saying that although he slowed down the pace of his career, Zheng Yuan did not give up the music he loved.
Like many singers, he is now stationed on a short video platform, where he often broadcasts live, sings to netizens and fans, and shares his life with everyone.
Now it is 2023, Zheng Yuan is 41 years old, although his current fame is not as good as it was then, but in the hearts of fans who like him, he is still the high-quality idol that everyone loves.
For Zheng Yuan, although the development of his career has become slow, he is already content to have a warm and happy family.
Moreover, he has long accumulated a lot of wealth, and now he lives worry-free, and he spends his family with him every day, which is enough to be enviable!
