Gong Linna is the most fearless person in the entire entertainment industry.
As long as someone "desecrates" music, Gong Linna must stand up.
The Faye Wong concert in 2016 shook the entire entertainment industry.
Countless fans have been thinking about the queen for a long time, but they frequently made mistakes on the stage, which made the audience all wonder.
Is the diva really "incorruptible and old", or is the entertainment industry so "sparse" today?
And the next day, Gong Linna's words detonated social media.
She bluntly said that Faye Wong "lost her timbre and lost her breath", and the wording was so direct that it was jaw-dropping.
Then her husband Lao Gong published a long article and criticized Faye Wong for becoming a "businessman" who made money.
For a time, Gong Linna was labeled "ungrateful" by Faye Wong's diehard fans.
So, why did Gong Linna criticize her former benefactor so bluntly, and what kind of untold story is hidden between them?
Surviving Girl
Gong Linna, who has been passionate about singing since she was a child, could have successfully become a singer.
But Gong Linna almost lost herself in her early pursuit of "fame".
"When you grow up, you must be a singer", Gong Linna has already buried her dream deep in her heart at a young age.
However, the path to growth was not as smooth as expected.
"If you can't become a celebrity, you're not a good singer", this sentence is deeply imprinted in the girl's heart, making her obsessed with "being famous".
In order to become famous, Gong Linna has been participating in singing competitions since she was 10 years old, and has won many battles.
For a time, all kinds of trophies and awards were like medals for this little girl, bringing her great satisfaction.
Soon, Gong Linna's talent and hard work brought opportunities.
She was escorted by the China Conservatory of Music, and finally graduated with the reputation of "champion of folk songs".
Gong Linna, who is wearing a halo, understands better that only fame is the only criterion for a good singer.
In 2000, when the sensational Young Singer Grand Prix came, Gong Linna, who was determined to become famous, was determined to fight.
Sink and fall
On the stage of the Youth Song Competition, Gong Linna was a blockbuster and finally won two awards: the Silver Award and the Most Popular Award.
Although the ranking is not the highest, it is enough to make her a household name.
For a while, the joy of fame quickly overwhelmed her.
However, the good times did not last long, and there was a huge gap between the real fame life and Gong Linna's imagination.
Successfully joining the Chinese National Orchestra, Gong Linna ushered in the most glorious period of her life.
She stood on the glorious stage and performed on the same stage with the top singers in China, and there would be high-ranking and dignitary faces in the audience from time to time.
At 25 years old, she has an income and fame that most of her peers can't match.
However, when the spotlight went out and the cheers dispersed, Gong Linna's heart was empty.
Because she knows a secret - she is simply lip-syncing most of the time!
I am not familiar with many new songs, and I don't have time to memorize them at all. However, the leaders who invited them to attend often asked for additional songs on an ad hoc basis.
There were a pair of expectant eyes in the audience, and Gong Linna had to pick up the microphone and pretend to sing.
She was obviously not singing, but the applause and appreciation from the audience were endless, which made the young Gong Linna feel painful and confused.
I obviously won the audience's love by deception, how can I be called an excellent singer?
For two years, Gong Linna struggled under the superficial scenery, and the double torture of psychology and physiology made her almost collapse.
Is this a really good singer? Just when Gong Linna felt unprecedentedly confused.
A man walks into her world and ends up changing the course of her life.
The singing voice returns to nature
This man's name is Lao Gong, and he is an excellent German musician.
When Lao Gong heard Gong Linna's singing voice for the first time, the words of the comment were quite direct: "Liptto singing is disgusting."
These words hit Gong Linna's weakness over the years, and also sobered up her long-lost heart.
In 2002, she resolutely decided to leave everything and follow Lao Gong to find a new life in Chinese folk music.
"I want to work with you to create a place for Chinese folk music. Lao Gong invited.
For Gong Linna, this is the call of ideals in her heart, and it is an opportunity for her to find herself again.
In 2004, she and Lao Gong entered the wedding hall.
Soon after, their love blossomed – a lovely child.
After the child is born, Gong Linna and Lao Gong will tease the little one in their spare time.
One day, the two were surprised to find that the child's babbling was actually full of nature.
At the moment of inspiration, the old gong picked up the instrument and played, and Gong Linna also sang with it, and the song "Nervousness" was born.
This piece full of innocence and nature went viral on the Internet as soon as it was released.
Gong Linna's exaggerated outfit and expression, and her eccentric and mysterious singing, became a popular "Divine Comedy" among netizens for a while.
For a time, "Worried" became a "vulgar joke" that was all the rage on the Internet.
In the eyes of many people, Gong Linna's success is nothing more than Internet celebrity sensationalism and a blasphemy against music.
The invective began to affect Gong Linna, and she even fell into a trough of self-doubt for a while.
However, at this moment, Faye Wong's appearance provided her with a "life-saving straw".
The grace of knowing the situation?
Faye Wong first shared many performance videos of Gong Linna on social networking sites and praised them greatly.
Immediately afterwards, Faye Wong uploaded a video of the cover of "Nervous" on her page, which successfully detonated the Internet.
The netizens who were still arguing suddenly quieted down.
"Since the queen of heaven said it was good, then this song is not bad. Countless people began to join the cover army of "Nervous", and Gong Linna's popularity rose rapidly.
"If it weren't for Faye Wong's sister to help me solve the siege, my road to success might have been even more difficult. Gong Linna knew in her heart that she remembered this kindness.
With the blessing of Faye Wong's traffic, Gong Linna soon became a leader in new national music.
But her musical route is still controversial, and more and more people compare her to the Internet Divine Comedy, thinking that she is using a gimmick to attract attention.
After 2010, Gong Linna disappeared from the public eye several times. Concentrate on exploring the fusion of richer Chinese elements in world music.
However, the good times did not last long, and after Faye Wong's concert in 2016 made a mistake, the nightmare befell Gong Linna again.
Bite the hand that feeds one?
"I'm sad, the timbre is lost, the breath is gone, the pitch is gone......"
Many Faye Wong fans believe that Gong Linna's public criticism is tantamount to "ingratitude" and "falling into the ground".
In their opinion, Gong Linna is "scolding her benefactor" to attract attention.
For a time, Gong Linna was caught in the center of the storm of public opinion. However, in the face of crazy abuse, Gong Linna did not flinch.
Even, Gong Lina's husband Lao Gong also joined this "scolding war".
Lao Gong published a small "diss" essay on his social account titled "Stars Will Pass Away, Art Will Live Forever".
Lao Gong commented sharply in the article: "This kind of singing level is far from the professional level, Faye Wong's fall is too terrible, and the Chinese audience deserves something better!"
"I can't face that kind of disrespect for music, even if it's the seniors I admire the most. In a later show, Gong Linna explained.
Behind the seemingly unforgiving words, it is still her passion for music that governs everything.
Today, many years later, when we look back at this turmoil, we may understand Gong Linna's intentions.
She may be too straightforward, but her heart has never changed. As she herself said: "I'm not a goddess, I don't sing divine comedy, I'm Gong Linna, Gong Linna who was born for music." ”
epilogue
Gong Linna is no longer the girl who was eager to prove herself and flaunt herself.
Instead, he is a true singer who has been diving and accumulating in the long river of music, and finally sublimated into a mountain.
She may continue to make mistakes on the road in the future, but her heart, her love for music, is still the same girl who ran for her dreams back then.
And this time, she will protect the endless singing in her heart in a more mature and rational way.
