Edit|Entertain the heart
Recently, Zheng Zhihua had an accident!
I fell hard.
Breathless, production of a new album can only be postponed.
Who knew that some netizens were "shaking their wit".
There is schadenfreude between the words.
哼唱写歌火遍全国。
Because of the "bet" to set a "ten-year covenant".
sang angrily at Taiwan.
announced his retirement from the music scene at his peak.
In fact, Zheng Zhihua has never been "simple"!
"Rebellious" children have candy to eat
Zheng Zhihua has been extraordinary since birth.
The reason why he named it "Zhihua" is that he has to be superior.
When he once attended the show, he admitted it himself.
At the time of the mother's pregnancy, a monk asserted:
She had a boy in her belly and gave her the name "Zhihua".
And Zheng Zhihua did not live up to this name.
Zheng Zhihua suffered from polio because of a high fever.
After that, he had more than a dozen stabs in his leg before he could barely walk.
But there are still tools to be used.
Even so, the eight-year-old went to school on crutches.
The next day, I brought back the elementary school admission letter that "passed the interview".
However, the school brought him the biggest "malice" in his life.
"He's different from us, he's ugly. ”
"Take his crutches away and see if he can walk. ”
……
Malice is overwhelming.
But he was never really defeated!
Although he was not good at what he did, he did very well.
often "dominates" the first place in the class.
The deeper the repression, the stronger the backlash.
After growing up, Zheng Zhihua became the most "rebellious" child.
Apply for university.
His parents wanted him to become a doctor.
But he wanted to study civil engineering instead.
As a result, after graduating, he crossed over to work and started advertising media.
Who knew that this time he actually lit up his real "talent tree".
Happy Shampoo found their company to write an advertisement.
Many of the proposals that were submitted were rejected.
Everyone was so worried that their hair fell off the ground.
And Zheng Zhihua was like a "divine soldier descending from heaven" at this time.
He wrote down the songs he hummed casually.
Named "Happy Girl" and handed over to Party A.
Because the songs are too catchy.
As soon as this advertisement was launched, it immediately became popular all over Taiwan.
Zheng Zhihua's career has now reached a new level.
But things are changing too fast.
Singing for "betting".
There are too many people who come to Zheng Zhihua for an appointment.
was "jealous" by his friends.
My friend declared: You don't have music theory knowledge, you can't always make money from music.
When Zheng Zhihua heard this, his blood rushed straight to his head.
Talking is not brainy.
I made a "ten-year covenant" with a friend.
Within ten years, you will only make money from music, otherwise you will lose two million to your friends.
Young and vigorous, Zheng Zhihua resigned.
Completely embarked on the path of music.
However, the world of musicians is not rosy.
Because the advertising episodes he created before were biased towards "saliva songs".
Therefore, after signing with the record company, his positioning is that the lyrics are straightforward and the melody is "up".
But this is not Zheng Zhihua's pursuit.
School bullying as a child caused Jung Ji-hwa to have a sensitive heart.
He was eager to sing his thoughts.
Instead of being bought by money and becoming a puppet of capital.
So much so that he had a fierce "ideological collision" with the record company.
Fortunately, Zheng Zhihua won.
The title song of the same name of the first album "The Story of the Old Man" won the Taiwan Golden Melody Award.
The song is based on a coal mine worker.
And it's not just a song.
"People in their hometowns are flooded in mines and lose their lives, while people in cities are overwhelmed by desires and lose their souls. ”
Generations have made a living digging coal.
They have become numb in the face of the death of their family members.
Zheng Zhihua visited several times before he created such a song.
I want to awaken everyone's numb soul.
This song set the tone for Zheng Zhihua's later creation.
His songs move people through short stories.
Just as the meaning of the word "edification" in his name is implied.
His songs are deeply humane.
But this kind of creation put a great burden on him personally.
In the early days of his debut, some people called Zheng Zhihua "Xiao Luo Dayou".
They have similar genres.
However, with the gradual increase in Zheng Zhihua's songs, no one mentions this title anymore.
In the fourth year of entering the music scene, Zheng Zhihua was completely canonized!
After "becoming a god", he retired from the music scene
The song "Sailor" is known to everyone.
Inspirational songs must have its sound.
However, it is such a god song that has been "disgusted".
In 1992, CCTV invited Zheng Zhihua to attend the flame party.
Sing to the athletes who are fighting for their country.
Zheng Zhihua determined the performance occasion and took out the song "Sailor".
Unexpectedly, he was rejected.
Mariner has not been released before.
Singing a new song on such an important occasion, the pressure on the person in charge can be imagined.
Rebellion is always the main theme in his bones.
Zheng Zhihua still resisted everyone with his own strength, and he still sang this song.
Before this song, no one in the mainland knew about Zheng Zhihua.
After this song, there is no one who does not know Jung Ji-hwa.
A song "Sailor" turned Zheng Zhihua into a god.
He sang on crutches: "What is this pain in the wind and rain?" It became the most impressive picture for the public.
After this song, the sixth album of the same year resonated with everyone.
"Lights on the Stars" sings the voice of the wanderer.
Since his debut, every song of Jung Ji-hwa is full of his own thoughts.
This gives his songs a unique flavor.
However, this also caused him to "annihilate" trouble.
In 1993, he released the album "Crying Play".
From thinking about the individual to thinking about the times.
A song "The Great National" made him fall into the storm of "being banned".
"The small 'island country', dirty Taipei, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, covering the sky with one hand. ”
The lyrics are bold and full of irony.
Everyone advised him to hide, but he was not afraid.
Facts have also proved that no one "dares to move" Zheng Zhihua.
But the song's far-reaching influence "continues" to this day.
"The Great National" is so explosive that everyone ignores another song.
The song "My Tomorrow" from the same album.
This song is different from the previous style, too depressing.
So much so that some people speculated: whether he wants to quit the music scene.
He also chose to sing because of a bet with a friend.
Then you may suddenly announce your withdrawal.
In fact, there is something else to this song.
Because of his disability, Zheng Zhihua has received a lot of love from his parents since he was a child.
So he was more intimate with his parents than other families.
However, the sky is unpredictable.
Jung Ji-hwa's father suddenly fell ill.
Before he could react, his father left him forever.
That's why he wrote in the song:
"I stood in the center of the stage and felt so alone. ”
Since then, Mr. Zheng has slowed down the process.
The bad news: he took a year off.
The good news: it's back again after a year.
His father's death did not bring him down.
There are other people who let Zheng Zhihua take the initiative to quit the entertainment industry.
After entering the music scene for more than ten years, Zheng Zhihua decided to quit.
Some people in the know thought that he was gambling for the original contract.
But in fact, the innocuous joke friend back then has long apologized.
What really made Zheng Zhihua make up his mind was because of his family.
Zheng Zhihua and his wife met when they were working in an advertising agency.
They know each other.
And also a child.
In order to give the child a healthy growth environment, Zheng Zhihua will not be disturbed by the media.
After careful consideration, he decided to quit the entertainment industry.
However, he was busy in vain.
After the birth of his daughter, Zheng Zhihua ran a technology company.
Life is simple and beautiful.
But when the child was three years old, everything changed.
From the time my daughter goes to kindergarten.
Every time he mentions that his father is Zheng Zhihua.
The adults around will have "strange" expressions.
Until one day, her daughter finally couldn't stand it anymore and ran to ask Zheng Zhihua.
And Zheng Zhihua's explanation is: "Because I have done bad things before." ”
Zheng Zhihua has never regarded singing as a normal profession.
Even if I write so many meaningful songs, I am liked by many people.
He still thinks that singing is not a popular thing.
However, all this changed when she met her daughter.
In 2005, Jung Ji-hwa decided to make a comeback.
Life's "big win"
Faced with this comeback.
The crowd received mixed reviews.
However, no matter what everyone says, Zheng Zhihua is still the "rebellious" him at the beginning.
A reporter asked him what is the difference between today's music scene and the past.
He showed no mercy and said bluntly:
"In the 90s, we valued humanity, but now we are attached to the circus and juggling. ”
But he also added, "Jay Chou is an exception." ”
Such a character made him bombarded by many people.
However, Zheng Zhihua still "goes his own way", and even almost caused a "cyber war" the year before last.
The reason is that Wang Xinling participated in "Sister Lang" and sang "Lights on the Stars".
but changed some of the lyrics.
From "dirty" to "sunny sky".
directly attracted Zheng Zhihua's criticism.
After all, it's called "Lights on the Stars".
If it is a "clear day", why should the "stars" be lit.
It is completely inconsistent with the artistic conception of the original song.
Zheng Zhihua naturally couldn't sit still.
However, not everyone is on his side.
Some netizens pointed out: The copyright of the song is not in his hands.
You can change it as much as you want.
and accused Zheng Zhihua of being suspicious of gaining popularity.
There were different opinions, but Zheng Zhihua didn't pay attention to it at that time.
Because for him, he just expressed what he wanted to say.
As for what others think, it has nothing to do with him.
Some netizens said: Zheng Zhihua relies on a song to eat for a lifetime.
But being able to eat for a lifetime is also a kind of strength.
The so-called classics are that a generation will grow old and the songs will last forever.
Now Zheng Zhihua is over the age of six.
Going through so many ups and downs.
His heart still lives with the long-haired rebellious young man at the beginning.
Although the energy is no longer abundant, the work is still producing.
Because of his early experience, his health has not been very good.
Nowadays, wrestling, if it is not serious, will not tell the fans.
I hope he will recover well and soon.
